Purpose: In a study conducted at the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was reported that in individuals undergoing isolation, social capital had an impact on sleep quality and that anxiety plays an intermediary role. In Turkey, no studies investigating social capital and sleep quality have been conducted. For this reason, the purpose of our study is to establish whether anxiety and depression play an intermediary role on the influence of social capital on sleep quality in all individuals undergoing isolation due to COVID, who have applied to the two hospitals in scope of the study.
Material and Method: Our study was performed on all subjects, who have applied to the two sites in Izmir, undergone a 14-day isolation period, from March 15 to May 30, 2020, during the first outbreak of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Turkey. Individuals receiving inpatient treatment and/or to whom isolation at home has been recommended, individuals, receiving outpatient treatment, who had mild symptoms and to whom isolation at home has been recommended, individuals to whom isolation was recommended due to a suspected COVID-19 infection and individuals to whom isolation was recommended due to suspected exposure. Primarily, on reviewing the hospital records, all participants were divided into three groups: individuals with a positive rRT-PCR result, individuals suspected of having possible COVID-19, and individuals isolated due to suspected exposure. Then, for individuals with positive rRT-PCR results and individuals suspected of having possible COVID-19, it was noted whether they had any clinical and radiological findings and whether they needed admission and intensive care. All participants completed a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions, including questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, in addition to the Social Capital Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The research data was built with the calls made by the physician to the individuals in scope of the study, and the responses the individuals gave to the questions of the questionnaires distributed online.
Findings: For this study, data were collected from 215 cases in total. 57% of these were male and 43% were female. A significant correlation was detected between social capital and the presence of clinical and radiological findings of COVID-19. A significant correlation was detected between the depression scale and PCR+ in terms of clinical stage and progress. However, the same was not established in relation to anxiety. Sleep quality was determined to be low in individuals with higher socio-economic level and individuals, who are single.
Result: The relation between social capital level and the course of the disease indicates the necessity to support social capital in healthcare.
