The COVID-19 pandemic may contribute to sleep problems among older adults with chronic conditions. We examined factors linked to pandemic-related sleep disturbances in a US sample of adults aged 50 and older with chronic conditions.
Cross-sectional anonymous online survey between May 14 and July 9, 2020.
Michigan (82.3% of participants) and 33 other US states.
Total of 705 adults (M = 64.57 years, SD = 8.82, range = 50-94) who reported at least one chronic condition.
Sociodemographic and health characteristics, physical activity, media use, pandemic-related stress, social resources, and pandemic-related sleep disturbances.
In the fully adjusted regression models, people who reported more worry about COVID-19 infection, more financial strain, and greater loneliness reported significantly greater pandemic-related sleep disturbances.
These findings identify factors that may heighten risk of sleep problems since the COVID-19 pandemic in an especially vulnerable subgroup of older adults.
COVID-19 大流行可能导致患有慢性病的老年人出现睡眠问题。我们在美国年龄在 50 岁及以上患有慢性病的成年人样本中,研究了与大流行相关的睡眠障碍相关的因素。
2020 年 5 月 14 日至 7 月 9 日进行的横断面匿名在线调查。
密歇根州(参与者中有 82.3%)和美国其他 33 个州。
共有 705 名成年人(M=64.57 岁,SD=8.82,范围 50-94)报告至少有一种慢性病。
社会人口统计学和健康特征、身体活动、媒体使用、与大流行相关的压力、社会资源和与大流行相关的睡眠障碍。
在完全调整的回归模型中,报告对 COVID-19 感染的担忧、经济压力和孤独感增加的人报告与大流行相关的睡眠障碍显著增加。
这些发现确定了可能增加 COVID-19 大流行期间这一特别脆弱的老年人群体睡眠问题风险的因素。
