Evaluation of The Elderly Individuals the Covid-19 Pandemic in Terms of Depression and Sleep Quality

Year 2023, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 1 - 7, 28.09.2023

Abstract

Aim: Along with the pandemic, factors such as social isolation, disconnection from society, physical distancing and loss of usual social opportunities have negatively affected elderly individuals, who are a vulnerable group. In this study, aimed to evaluate depression and sleep quality in elderly who constitute the primary risk group during the COVID-19 period.
Materials and Methods: 332 elderly individuals included in this retrospective and descriptive study. Data were collected using the Elderly Information Form, Geriatric Depression Scale and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test and Pearson correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 71.09±5.831, and 54.8% were female. 70.2% are married, 42.8% are primary school graduates, 93.4% are unemployed, 75.3% have a chronic physical disease. While 53.6% of the elderly individuals had depression symptoms, 68.7% of them had poor sleep quality. Women have worse sleep quality than men. Significant differences were found between age and educational status and PSQI scores (p<0.05). It was determined that an increase in the depression score worsened the sleep quality (r=.165; p<0.005).
Conclusion: In the COVID-19 pandemic, it was determined that depression symptoms were high and sleep quality was poor in elderly individuals.

Covıd-19 Pandemisinde Yaşlıların Depresyon ve Uyku Kalitesi Açısından Değerlendirilmesi

Year 2023, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 1 - 7, 28.09.2023

Abstract

Amaç: Pandemi ile birlikte sosyal izolasyon, toplumla bağlantılarının koparılması, fiziksel uzaklaşma ve her zamanki sosyal fırsatların kaybı gibi faktörler incinebilir bir grup olan yaşlı bireyleri ruhsal anlamda olumsuz etkilemiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı COVID-19 döneminde öncelikli risk grubunu oluşturan yaşlı bireylerde depresyon ve uyku kalitesini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif ve tanımlayıcı tasarımdaki bu çalışmaya 332 yaşlı birey alınmıştır. Veriler Yaşlı bilgi formu, Geriatrik depresyon ölçeği ve Pittsburg uyku kalite indeksi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki kare testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 71.09±5.831 olup, 54.8%’i kadın. 70.2%’si evli, 42.8%’si ilkokul mezunu ve 93.4% çalışmamakta, 75.3%’ü bir kronik fiziksel hastalığa sahiptir. Yaşlı bireylerin %53.6’sında depresyon belirtileri saptanırken, %68,7’sinde uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadınlar erkeklere göre daha kötü uyku kalitesine sahiptir. Yaş ve eğitim durumu ile PUKİ puanları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Depresyon puanının artmasının uyku kalitesini kötüleştirdiği belirlenmiştir (r=.165; p<0.005).
Sonuç: COVID-19 salgınında yaşlı bireylerde depresyon belirtilerinin yüksek ve uyku kalitesinin kötü olduğu belirlenmiştir.
