To investigate the relationship between physical activity level and disease severity, anxiety level, sleep quality, and fatigue in patients followed up with COVID-19 diagnosis.
This was a cross-sectional study of 111 volunteer patients who were receiving treatment with COVID-19 diagnosis at the Chest Diseases Polyclinic, Sanko University, Sani Konukoğlu Practice and Research Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey between May 2021 and July 2021 were included in the study and classified clinically and radiologically. They were evaluated on the basis of demographic characteristics, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Fatigue Severity Scale.
Approximately 63% of the patients did not have a habit of exercise, while 52.3% of our patients were clinically mild cases, and 33.3% had normal lung tomography. While clinical disease severity was not associated with exercise habits, sleep quality was impaired in clinically severe patients.
The results of our study suggested that physical inactivity is common. Anxiety is a frequent symptom in COVID-19 cases and also COVID-19 negatively affects sleep quality.
研究 COVID-19 确诊患者的身体活动水平与疾病严重程度、焦虑水平、睡眠质量和疲劳之间的关系。
这是一项横断面研究，纳入了 2021 年 5 月至 7 月期间在土耳其加济安泰普的桑科大学三康科格鲁实践与研究医院胸部疾病门诊部接受 COVID-19 治疗的 111 名志愿者患者。他们根据人口统计学特征、国际体力活动问卷、贝克焦虑量表、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和疲劳严重程度量表进行了评估。
约 63%的患者没有运动习惯，而 52.3%的患者为临床轻症，33.3%的患者肺部 CT 正常。虽然临床疾病严重程度与运动习惯无关，但临床重症患者的睡眠质量受损。
本研究结果表明，身体活动不足较为常见。焦虑是 COVID-19 病例的常见症状，COVID-19 也会对睡眠质量产生负面影响。
