Objective: The main purpose of this paper is to investigate sleep quality in the withdrawal of medical members dispatched to control the Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei province, China.
Methods: Forty-seven medical members (including twenty medical members treating mild COVID-19, seventeen medical members treating severe COVID-19 and ten logistics team members) completed questionnaire using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to evaluate the sleep quality of the medical members.
Results: A total of forty-seven medical members participated in the sleep quality survey. The PSQI total scores are 5.6±4.3, 11.0±5.0 and 3.4±2.0 in treating mild COVID-19, treating severe COVID-19 and logistics team members, respectively. Medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 had significantly higher PSQI total scores than those who facing up to the patients with mild COVID-19 and logistics team members. (P<0.005). The components of PSQI such as sleep duration and sleep medications were significantly higher in medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 than those who facing up to the patients with mild COVID-19 and logistics team members (P<0.005). The components of PSQI such as sleep quality and daytime dysfunction were worse in medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 than logistics team members (P<0.005).
Conclusions: Findings indicate that medical members treating patients with severe COVID-19 had worse sleep quality than who facing up to the patients with mild COVID-19 and logistics team members.
