Abstract

Objective: we aimed to investigate characteristics of sleep quality disorder and some related factors in patients after recovery from COVID-19 who examined at Military Hospital 103. Subjects and methods: a total of 111 wealthy patients History of being diagnosed with COVID-19 was collected at the Department of Functional Diagnostics, Military Hospital 103 from February 2022 to May 2022. The patient's sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Pearson’s correlation or Independent Samples T-Test is used to evaluate the relationships between PSQI scores with age, height, weight, BMI, time after COVID-19 infection, smoking status, and drinking habit of the patients. Results: The proportion of patients with sleep quality disorders was 55%. The group of subjects who smoked had a statistically significant increase in sleep latency score as compared to the group who did not smoke. Similarly, the group of subjects who drank alcohol showed a significantly higher sleep duration score when compared to the group of subjects who did not drink alcohol. Conclusion: The proportion of sleep quality disorders in subjects after recovery from COVID-19 infection was 55%. Smoking and alcohol use are risk factors for increased sleep quality disorders in people after recovery from COVID-19 infection.
