The study was carried out to determine the COVID-19 fear and sleep quality of people with epilepsy.
The data of this descriptive study were collected from November 2021 to February 2022 with 92 people with epilepsy in the neurology department of a hospital in eastern Türkiye. The Descriptive Information Form, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and COVID-19 Fear Scale were used to collect the data for the study.
The mean COVID-19 score of people with epilepsy was found to be 13.55 ± 7.95, and the mean sleep quality score was 1.67 ± 1.69. Significant differences were detected in the mean fear scores of people with epilepsy according to their working status and perceived health status. It was also found that there was a significant correlation between the duration of epilepsy and sleep quality ( < 0.05). No significant differences were detected between the seizure types, number of seizures, number of medications used, presence of comorbid diseases, and fear and sleep quality ( > 0.05). No significant relations were detected between the sleep scale and its subcomponents and the COVID-19 Fear Scale ( > 0.05).
It was found that the COVID-19 fear levels of people with epilepsy were at a moderate level and their sleep quality was good.
开展本研究以确定癫痫患者对新冠病毒的恐惧程度及睡眠质量。
本描述性研究的数据于2021年11月至2022年2月收集,来自土耳其东部一家医院神经内科的92名癫痫患者。使用描述性信息表、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)和新冠病毒恐惧量表收集研究数据。
癫痫患者的新冠病毒平均得分是13.55±7.95,睡眠质量平均得分是1.67±1.69。根据工作状态和感知健康状态,癫痫患者的平均恐惧得分存在显著差异。还发现癫痫病程与睡眠质量之间存在显著相关性(<0.05)。在发作类型、发作次数、用药数量、合并疾病的存在情况以及恐惧和睡眠质量之间未检测到显著差异(>0.05)。在睡眠量表及其子成分与新冠病毒恐惧量表之间未检测到显著关系(>0.05)。
发现癫痫患者对新冠病毒的恐惧水平处于中等程度,且他们的睡眠质量良好。
