Abstract

BACKGROUND

It is plausible that depression symptoms and disrupting sleep quality were differently affected according to the rigidity of social distancing during the COVID-19 outbreak.

OBJECTIVE

To describe and compare depression symptoms and sleep quality amongst older Brazilian and Chinese women who were submitted to different social distancing measures (less rigid (Brazil) versus more rigid (China)).

METHODS

This observational cross-sectional study assessed urban older women who underwent home confinement with less (Brazil; n=1015) or more (China; n=644) rigidity. Socio-demographic correlates, general health information, depression symptoms [Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS- 15)], and sleep quality [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)] were assessed through interviews.

RESULTS

1659 older women (66.74 ± 5.48 years old; 38.8% Chinese; 61.2% Brazilian) were included for analysis. 22% of Brazilians and 19.6% of Chinese women presented depression symptoms. The frequency of bad sleepers was 56.4% and 37.7% amongst Brazilian and Chinese older women, respectively. After adjusting for socio-demographic variables, general health status, and PSQI global score, Chinese women had a significantly higher score of depression symptoms (3.88 ± 0.13) compared to the Brazilians (3.26 ± 0.10; p < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

The frequency of poor sleep quality was very high regardless of the country. After adjusting for confounders and sleep quality, older Chinese women had a significantly superior score of depression symptoms exacerbating psychological distress by confinement rigidness.

摘要

背景

在新冠疫情爆发期间，抑郁症状和睡眠质量受到的影响可能因社交距离措施的严格程度而异。

目的

描述并比较接受不同社交距离措施（巴西较宽松，中国较严格）的巴西和中国老年女性的抑郁症状和睡眠质量。

方法

这项观察性横断面研究评估了居家隔离的城市老年女性，其中巴西（n = 1015）的隔离措施较宽松，中国（n = 644）的隔离措施较严格。通过访谈评估社会人口学相关因素、一般健康信息、抑郁症状[老年抑郁量表（GDS - 15）]和睡眠质量[匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）]。

结果

纳入1659名老年女性（66.74 ± 5.48岁；38.8%为中国人，61.2%为巴西人）进行分析。22%的巴西女性和19.6%的中国女性有抑郁症状。巴西和中国老年女性中睡眠不佳者的比例分别为56.4%和37.7%。在对社会人口学变量、一般健康状况和PSQI总分进行调整后，中国女性的抑郁症状得分（3.88 ± 0.13）显著高于巴西女性（3.26 ± 0.10；p < 0.001）。
