Abstract
Objective: To study the quality of sleep in patients with COVID-19 after recovery.
Methods: A retrospective study was done in 480 patients who had recovered from COVID-19. Analyze previously collected data from earlier research, which consists of interviews and is accompanied by a questionnaire including general information, the Thai version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Thai HADS). Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis for general information. Logistic regression in both bivariative and multivariative analyses was applied to find the association between sleep quality and various factors.
Results: 36.5% of the participant had poor sleep quality. The overall average sleep quality score was 5.09. The average sleep duration per night was 6.8 hours, and the overall sleep efficiency was 89%. Sleep quality was significantly associated with the presence of psychiatric comorbidities and experiencing anxiety and depressive symptom, with a statistical significance level of 0.05.
Conclusion: Most patients who recovered from COVID-19 had good sleep quality. The presence of psychiatric comorbidities and experiencing anxiety and depressive symptom significantly affected sleep quality.
