Key take away

Among hospitalized COVID-19 people, the prevalence of high post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms was reported to be 22.6%. 

Background

A study was carried out for determining sleep quality and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in SARS-CoV-2-infected people during hospitalization.

Method

In this observational study, collection of data was done from 190 participants (mean age 55.7 years, 96 females, 88 had family members or acquaintances suffering from COVID-19) hospitalized with lab-confirmed coronavirus infection.

Result

In 62 people (32.6%), presence of lymphocytopenia, while in 25 people (13.2%), oxygen desaturation was witnessed. The incidence of high PTSD symptoms was found to be 22.6%. Median time from commencement of symptoms to 1st medical visit and hospital admission was two days and sixteen days, respectively.

The patients PTSD symptoms were positively associated with the time from symptom onset to 1st medical visit (r= 0.156) and hospitalization (r = 0.181). Substantial correlations were witnessed between PTSD symptoms and sleep quality (r = 0.312-0.547).

Conclusion

Early diagnosis and management of coronavirus symptoms are valuable to infected patients both psychologically and physically. Following the recovery of physical symptoms, psychological intervention is desirable for relieving PTSD symptoms, preventing PTSD onset, and promoting trauma improvement in SARS-CoV-2 people. Also, the sleep quality of people during hospitalization needs extra attention.
