Anxiety Levels and Sleep Quality of Individuals During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety levels of individuals in Turkey during the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, data were electronically collected between 10 May 2020 and 30 July 2020. Personal information form, State-trait anxiety inventory and Pittsburg sleep quality index were used as data collection tools.Results:A statistically significant difference was found in terms of gender, age, educational status, economic status, childbearing status and state-trait anxiety scores. It was determined that 183 (78.9%) participants with good sleep quality did not have sleep problems after the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, and 113 (65.3%) participants with poor sleep quality experienced sleep problems after the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result of an increase in the state-strait anxiety scale score by 1 point, the risk of poor sleep quality increased 1.051 times (5.1%).Conclusion:In this study, the anxiety levels of women, young people, children, individuals with low educational status and individuals with poor economic status were high. After the COVID-19 outbreak started, the number of individuals with sleep problems increased. Increasing anxiety levels during the COVID-19 outbreak increased poor sleep quality. These results will help mental health professionals, who are involved in community mental health services, to manage such individuals in a better way..
