Abstract: Objective Sleep disorders and insomnia are major health problems that significantly impact mental health, quality of life, and risky behaviors such as self-harm in adolescents. This study aimed to investigate sleep quality, insomnia severity, and demographic and clinical factors affecting sleep quality among adolescents in Kerman, Iran. Materials and Methods In 2023, 80 adolescents aged 12—20 years with self-harming behaviors were recruited from the psychiatry and counseling centers of Kerman University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Insomnia Severity Index questionnaires, structured interviews, and self-report questionnaires. The questionnaires were scored using standardized rules, and various statistical tests were used in the analysis. Results The mean age of the participants was 16.36, and 56.2% were male. Poor sleep quality was detected in 96.25% of adolescents. Insomnia severity was determined as mild (13.75%), moderate (23.75%), severe (40%), and very severe (22.5%). A significant negative correlation was found between age and insomnia severity, with poorer sleep quality in males. Insomnia severity was higher in those with higher education levels and sleep quality was significantly lower in those with chronic illnesses. Associations were also found between a history of hospitalization and substance abuse. Conclusion In conclusion, factors such as age, gender, education, chronic illness, and harmful behaviors were shown to play significant roles in sleep quality and insomnia severity in adolescents. The importance of multidimensional interventions (cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia, stress management, and sleep hygiene education) is emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
