Abstract

Background: COVID-19 has affected humanity not only physically but also mentally. It was expected to have impact on high-risk groups such as the immunocompromised patients and parents/caregivers of them. Our study was aimed to investigate the COVID-19 related anxiety, post-traumatic stress levels, and sleep-related parameters of the parents of children with primary immunodeficiency. Methods: Parents of children with primary immunodeficiency and age and gender-matched control group completed questionnaires. Results: Anxiety and post-traumatic stress levels of the study group were found to be significantly higher than the control group. Furthermore, sleep time of the study group was significantly lower than the control group. The subjective sleep quality of the study group was also lower in the study group, but the difference did not reach a significant level. Conclusions: In the ongoing and other possible pandemic processes, professional support for the parents of these children is of great importance.

新冠肺炎大流行期间原发性免疫缺陷患儿家长的心理状态

背景:COVID-19不仅对人类的身体产生了影响，而且对人类的精神也产生了影响。预计将对免疫功能低下患者及其父母/照顾者等高危人群产生影响。本研究旨在调查原发性免疫缺陷儿童父母的COVID-19相关焦虑、创伤后应激水平和睡眠相关参数。方法:对原发性免疫缺陷患儿家长和年龄、性别匹配的对照组进行问卷调查。结果:实验组的焦虑和创伤后应激水平明显高于对照组。此外，研究组的睡眠时间明显低于对照组。研究组的主观睡眠质量在研究组中也较低，但差异没有达到显著水平。结论:在正在进行的和其他可能的大流行过程中，为这些儿童的父母提供专业支持非常重要。
