Abstract:
Objective:To explore the prevalence of sleep problems among residents in the city of Ruian during the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19),and to investigate whether the presence of sleep prob-lems was related to the infection of COVID-19.Methods:Totally 4 810 community residents(1116 residents tested positive for COVID-19 and 3 694 residents tested negative for COVID-19)were chosen by stratified convenience sampling.All participants were assessed with the Sleep Self-Rating Scale(SRSS,total score ≥23 SRSS screen-pos-itive),Generalized Anxiety Scale(GAD-7,total score ≥5 GAD-7 screen-positive)and 9-item Patient Health Ques-tionnaire(PHQ-9,total score ≥5 PHQ-9 screen-positive).Results:The screen-positive rates of SRSS,GAD-7 and PHQ-9 were 30.5％,33.7％and 27.2％,respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that the infection of CO-VID-19 was significantly associated with the SRSS screen-positive(OR=1.73,95％CI:1.48-2.03),after con-trolling for the confounding variables of gender,age group,GAD-7 screen-positive and PHQ-9 screen-positive.Conclusion:The prevalence of sleep problems was higher in the residents tested positive for COVID-19 than in those tested negative for COVID-19.The occurrence of sleep problems may be directly associated with the infection of COVID-19.
