Abstract

Bu çalışma, bir dahiliye-onkoloji kliniğine yatan 40 yaş üstü yetişkinlerin Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde sağlık anksiyeteleri ve uyku kalitelerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışma 200 katılımcı ile tamamlanmıştır. Çalışmada, katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özelliklerini ve genel sağlık durumunu sorgulayan kişisel veri formu, “Sağlık Anksiyetesi Ölçeği (SAÖ)” ve “Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PUKİ)” kullanılmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann Whitney U testi, Kruskal Wallis H testi ve Spearman’s korelasyon testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Anlamlılık düzeyi P < 0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Elde edilen verilere göre, katılımcıların PUKİ toplam ölçek puanı 6,585±3,265 olarak saptanmıştır. PUKİ toplam puanı 5 eşik değerinin üzerinde olan 96 kişinin (%48) uyku kalitesi kötü olarak değerlendirilmiştir. SAÖ toplam puanı ise, 17,315±4,243 olarak belirlenmiştir. PUKİ toplam puanı, uyku süresi, uyku bozukluğu alt boyutları ile SAÖ toplam puanı, bedensel belirtilere aşırı duyarlılık ve kaygı alt boyutu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon saptanmıştır (P < 0,05). Pandemi sürecinin olumsuz etkileri ile mücadele için destek mekanizmaları oluşturulurken ve yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek adına atılacak adımlar planlanırken, salgın sürecinin uyku kalitesi üzerine olumsuz etkisi de göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Evaluation of Health Anxiety and Sleep Quality of Adults Over 40 Years Old in An Internal-Oncology Clinic during the Covid 19 Pandemic Process

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the health anxiety and sleep quality of adults over the age of 40 who were hospitalized in an internal medicine-oncology clinic during the Covid-19 pandemic period. This descriptive-cross-sectional study was completed with 200 participants. In the study, the personal data form which questioned the socio-demographic characteristics and general health status of the participants, “Health Anxiety Scale” and “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)”, were used. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H test, and Spearman's correlation test. The significance level was accepted as P < 0.05. According to the data obtained, the participants' PSQI total scale score was determined as 6.585±3.265. The sleep quality of 96 (48%) individuals whose PSQI total score was above the cutoff value of 5 was evaluated as poor. The Health Anxiety Scale total score was determined as 17.315±4.243. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between the PSQI total score, sleep duration, sleep disturbance sub-dimensions, and the Health Anxiety Scale total score, hypersensitivity to somatic symptoms and anxiety sub-dimensions (P < 0.05). While establishing support mechanisms to combat the negative effects of the pandemic process and planning the steps to be taken to improve the quality of life, the negative impact of the epidemic process on sleep quality should also be considered.
