Sleep problems during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic commonly affected general populations. Data on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on sleep quality in Saudi Arabia are scarce. Thus, the aim of our study was to evaluate sleep quality and assess the psychological burden of the pandemic in COVID-19 patients and the general population.
This was a multicenter, observational, cross-sectional survey. Participants with COVID-19 were recruited from different health-care centers in the western region during the lockdown period from May 13, 2020 to September 2, 2020. All participants completed a validated online survey. The control group comprised individuals from the general public who responded to the online survey through social media. Demographic data, COVID-19 status, and history of chronic diseases were collected. Sleep quality, depression, and insomnia were assessed using validated questionnaires.
In total, 1091 participants were surveyed and 643 (58.9%) were positive for COVID-19. Poor sleep quality was reported in 66.1% of COVID-19 patients (mean score ± standard deviation [SD] 6.9 ± 4.0) and 72.8% of controls (mean score ± SD 7.6 ± 4.3). Insomnia affected 50.5% of COVID-19 patients (mean score ± SD 6.5 ± 5.5) and 58.5% of controls (mean score ± SD 7.6 ± 5.5). Depression was diagnosed in 39.5% of COVID-19 patients (mean score ± SD 4.7 ± 4.6) and 70.1% of controls (mean score ± SD 8.9 ± 6.7).
The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on mental health and sleep quality in both COVID-19 patients and the general population but more pronounced in the general population.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间的睡眠问题普遍影响普通人群。关于COVID-19大流行对沙特阿拉伯睡眠质量影响的数据很少。因此,我们研究的目的是评估COVID-19患者和普通人群的睡眠质量,并评估大流行带来的心理负担。
这是一项多中心、观察性横断面调查。2020年5月13日至2020年9月2日封锁期间,从西部地区不同的医疗保健中心招募了COVID-19患者。所有参与者都完成了一项经过验证的在线调查。对照组由通过社交媒体回复在线调查的普通公众组成。收集了人口统计学数据、COVID-19状况和慢性病病史。使用经过验证的问卷评估睡眠质量、抑郁和失眠情况。
总共调查了1091名参与者,其中643人(58.9%)COVID-19检测呈阳性。66.1%的COVID-19患者报告睡眠质量差(平均得分±标准差[SD]6.9±4.0),72.8%的对照组报告睡眠质量差(平均得分±SD 7.6±4.3)。失眠影响了50.5%的COVID-19患者(平均得分±SD 6.5±5.5)和58.5%的对照组(平均得分±SD 7.6±5.5)。确诊抑郁症的COVID-19患者占39.5%(平均得分±SD 4.7±4.6),对照组占70.1%(平均得分±SD 8.9±6.7)。
COVID-19大流行对COVID-19患者和普通人群的心理健康和睡眠质量都有很大影响,但对普通人群的影响更为明显。
