Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, people all over the world have been confined to their homes and exposed to unprecedented levels of stress. This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the factors which are affecting sleep quality in the Turkish population during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sample of this study consisted of 1023 individuals who completed a questionnaire by means of an online Google Forms connection by email and electronic communication between the dates of 12 July and 30 August 2020. A Personal Information Form, a Health Behavior Changes Form, the Numeric Rating Scale and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to collect data.
It was found that 68.1% of the participants in the study had poor sleep quality and 31.9% had good sleep quality. Also, those with a history of contact with a person with COVID-19, or those who knew someone with COVID-19 in those close to them had significantly worse levels of sleep quality than the others (p<0.05). It may be predicted that participants with an education level of high school or lower, a low income, a reduction in physical activity or food intake, fatigue or high stress levels may have lower sleep quality.
It is important to determine the factors affecting sleep quality during such large pandemics, and to provide the necessary support.
由于 COVID-19 大流行，世界各地的人们都被限制在家中，面临前所未有的压力。本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行期间影响土耳其人群睡眠质量的因素。
本研究的样本由 1023 名个体组成，他们通过电子邮件和电子通信在 2020 年 7 月 12 日至 8 月 30 日期间完成了在线 Google Forms 问卷。使用个人信息表、健康行为变化表、数字评分量表和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）来收集数据。
研究发现，68.1%的参与者睡眠质量差，31.9%的参与者睡眠质量好。此外，与 COVID-19 患者有过接触或认识身边有 COVID-19 患者的人，其睡眠质量明显差于其他人（p<0.05）。可以预测，教育水平为高中或以下、收入低、体力活动或食物摄入减少、疲劳或压力水平高的参与者睡眠质量可能较低。
在这样的大流行中，确定影响睡眠质量的因素并提供必要的支持非常重要。
