Abstract

 This study aimed to investigate how people’s subjective health changed after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This survey was conducted in May 2021 as a nationwide online self-reported survey in Japan. The respondents indicated how their sleep, physical condition, and mental state altered after the pandemic. Furthermore, they answered questionnaires about their intention to get vaccinated, the means of gathering information, etc. A logistic regression analysis was performed. Of the 2,573 responses, there was a decline of approximately 13.6%, 14.0%, and 23.8% in subjective sleep, physical condition, and mental health after the pandemic, respectively. The logistic regression analysis demonstrated that regarding sleep, the affected group was younger, got vaccinated against influenza annually, had lower income, experienced poor sleep quality in the past month, and had worse physical and psychiatric symptoms than before the pandemic. Concerning the physical condition, the affected group lived alone, witnessed deficient sleep quality in the past month, and had deteriorated mental health status than before the COVID-19 pandemic. In terms of mental status, the affected group was younger, females, had access to more sources of information, and experienced worse sleep and physical conditions than the unchanged or improved group (p < 0.05). Each group indicated an association with the background factors, confirming that the subjective sleep, physical condition, and mental state affected each other. From a preventive perspective, the results of this study suggested that factors such as youth, gender, sleep quality, pregnancy, reduced income, and greater access to information, may be necessary for physical and mental support. The above-mentioned factors should be considered in light of community life and approached accordingly.
COVID-19大流行期间主观睡眠、身体状况和心理健康的变化:日本的一项全国性调查
本研究旨在调查2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行后人们的主观健康状况如何变化。该调查是于2021年5月在日本全国范围内进行的在线自我报告调查。受访者表示,大流行后他们的睡眠、身体状况和精神状态发生了怎样的变化。此外,他们还回答了关于他们接种疫苗的意图、收集信息的方式等问题。进行逻辑回归分析。在2573份回复中,大流行后主观睡眠、身体状况和心理健康分别下降了约13.6%、14.0%和23.8%。logistic回归分析显示,在睡眠方面,受影响的人群年龄较小,每年接种流感疫苗,收入较低,过去一个月的睡眠质量较差,身体和精神症状比大流行前更严重。身体状况方面,受影响人群独居,近一个月睡眠质量不足,精神健康状况较疫情前恶化。在精神状态方面,受影响组更年轻,女性,有更多的信息来源,睡眠和身体状况比不变或改善组更差(p < 0.05)。每一组都表明了与背景因素的关联,证实了主观睡眠、身体状况和精神状态相互影响。从预防的角度来看,这项研究的结果表明,年轻、性别、睡眠质量、怀孕、收入减少和更多的信息获取等因素可能是身体和精神支持的必要条件。上述因素应结合社区生活来考虑并加以处理。
