A study was carried out for determining sleep quality and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in SARS-CoV-2-infected people during hospitalization.
Among
hospitalized COVID-19 people, the prevalence of high post-traumatic stress
disorder symptoms was reported to be 22.6%.
A study was carried out for determining sleep
quality and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in
SARS-CoV-2-infected people during hospitalization.
In this observational study, collection of data
was done from 190 participants (mean age 55.7 years, 96 females, 88 had family
members or acquaintances suffering from COVID-19) hospitalized with
lab-confirmed coronavirus infection.
In 62 people (32.6%), presence of lymphocytopenia, while in 25 people (13.2%), oxygen desaturation was witnessed. The incidence of high PTSD symptoms was found to be 22.6%. Median time from commencement of symptoms to 1st medical visit and hospital admission was two days and sixteen days, respectively.
The patients PTSD symptoms were positively associated with the time from
symptom onset to 1st medical visit (r= 0.156) and hospitalization (r = 0.181).
Substantial correlations were witnessed between PTSD symptoms and sleep quality
(r = 0.312-0.547).
Early diagnosis and management of coronavirus symptoms are
valuable to infected patients both psychologically and physically. Following
the recovery of physical symptoms, psychological intervention is desirable for
relieving PTSD symptoms, preventing PTSD onset, and promoting trauma
improvement in SARS-CoV-2 people. Also, the sleep quality of people during
hospitalization needs extra attention.
