Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında öğrencilerde anksiyete ve depresyon belirtileri, gündüz aşırı uyku hali ve uyku alışkanlıklarını analiz etmeyi amaçladık
Gereç ve yöntemler :Bu çalışmaya COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında evde online eğitim alan 200 çocuk dahil edildi. Öğrenciler ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise olmak üzere üç gruba ayrıldı. Öğrenciler Epworth Uykululuk Ölçeği (ESS), Çocuk Uyku Alışkanlıkları Anketi (CSHQ) ve Çocukluk Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği (CADS) içeren anket formlarını doldurdular.
Bulgular: CADS ve ESS'ye göre anksiyete bozukluğu ve gündüz uykululuk oranları en fazla lise grubundaydı. CSHQ skoruna göre ilköğretim öğrencilerinde uyku kalitesi bozukluğu daha yüksek oranda gözlendi (p<0,005) Adenoidektomi geçirenlerde yapılmayanlara göre ESS daha düşük bulundu (p=0.011). Medyan CSHQ ve ESS puanları, alerjisi olan ortaokul sınıfında, alerjisi olmayanlara göre daha yüksekti (p = 0.040). Evde sigara dumanına maruz kalan ortaokul öğrencilerinin medyan CADS ve CSHQ puanları, sigara dumanına maruz kalmayanlara göre daha yüksekti (p=0,022)
Sonuç: Çocuklarda adenotonsiller hastalığı varsa, COVID-19 önlemlerine uyularak gecikmeden ameliyat yapılması uyku kalitesinin artmasına katkı sağlayabilir. Sigaraya maruziyetine ve allerjiye Covid-19 pandemisi döneminde dikkat etmeliyiz.

Anxiety-depression and sleep quality in students receiving online education at home during the covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

Abstract
Aim: In this study, we aimed to analyzed symptoms of anxiety and depression, excessive daytime sleepiness, and sleep habits in students during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: Two hundred children who received online education at home during the COVID-19 pandemic were included in this study. The students were divided into three groups as primary school, middle school, and high school. The students completed questionnaire forms including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and Childhood Anxiety and Depression Scale (CADS)
Results: The rates of CADS and ESS did not differ according to the groups (p>0.05). The rates of anxiety disorder and daytime sleepiness according to CADS and ESS were mostly in the high school group. According to the CSHQ score, sleep quality disorder was observed with a higher rate in primary school students (p<0.005) The median ESS was found to be lower in those who had adenoidectomy compared to those who did not (p=0.011). The Median CSHQ and ESS scores were higher in the secondary school class with allergies than in those without allergies (p = 0.040). Secondary school students who are exposed to cigarette smoke at home Median CADS and CSHQ scores were higher than those who did not (p = 0.022)
Conclusions: If the children have adenotonsillar disease, performing surgery without delay by following COVID-19 precautions may contribute to increase sleep quality.
We must be carefull exposure to cigarettes and allergies during the Covid-19 pandemic
