Previous studies showed poor sleep quality during the first Italian lockdown consequent to the quick spread of the virus. Poor sleep quality remained stable during the so-called "second wave", which started in Autumn 2020. This study aimed to compare sleep quality between the two waves of contagions and to examine the effect of resilience, together with sociodemographic and COVID-related variables, on sleep quality during the second wave.
A total of 648 participated in this longitudinal study through an online survey during the first lockdown consequent to the COVID-19 and during the second wave. The Medical Outcomes Study-Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) and the Resilience Scale (RS) were administered. Sociodemographic and COVID-related information were also collected.
The results showed sleep quality slightly increased in the second wave, even though with a small effect size. Correlational analysis showed that resilience is inversely correlated with sleep quality measured in the two waves. Sleep quality during the second wave was positively correlated with sleep quality in the first lockdown. Likewise, the results of multiple regression revealed that the sleep quality in the first lockdown and resilience were significant predictors of sleep quality during the second wave.
These findings highlighted that the prevalence of poor sleepers remained high during the second wave. Together with the sleep quality in the first lockdown, resilience represents an important factor related to sleep quality during the second wave. Interventions to improve sleep quality among the general population should take into account these findings.
先前的研究表明,在意大利因病毒迅速传播而实施的首次封锁期间,睡眠质量较差。在始于2020年秋季的所谓“第二波”疫情期间,睡眠质量保持稳定。本研究旨在比较两波疫情期间的睡眠质量,并研究心理弹性以及社会人口学和与新冠病毒相关的变量对第二波疫情期间睡眠质量的影响。
共有648人通过在线调查参与了这项纵向研究,调查时间为新冠疫情首次封锁期间和第二波疫情期间。采用医学结局研究睡眠量表(MOS-SS)和心理弹性量表(RS)进行评估。同时收集社会人口学信息和与新冠病毒相关的信息。
结果显示,第二波疫情期间睡眠质量略有提高,尽管效应量较小。相关性分析表明,心理弹性与两波疫情期间测得的睡眠质量呈负相关。第二波疫情期间的睡眠质量与首次封锁期间的睡眠质量呈正相关。同样,多元回归结果显示,首次封锁期间的睡眠质量和心理弹性是第二波疫情期间睡眠质量的重要预测因素。
这些发现突出表明,在第二波疫情期间,睡眠质量差的人群比例仍然很高。与首次封锁期间的睡眠质量一样,心理弹性是第二波疫情期间与睡眠质量相关的一个重要因素。改善普通人群睡眠质量的干预措施应考虑到这些发现。
