Abstract:Objective: To investigate the physical health, sleep quality and emotional status of the isolated people during the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, so as to provide reliable basis for the prevention and improvement of the physical and mental health of the isolated people. Methods: A total of 145 isolated people were tested online with the Short Form Health Survey-36 items (SF-36), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The differences were compared by χ2 test and t test. Results: A total of 123 valid questionnaires were received, with an effective rate of 84.8%(123/145), including 13 in medical quarantine and 110 in autonomous quarantine. The mental health of the isolated people were poor, and role-emotional of the medical isolators were significantly lower than that of the autonomous isolators(P<0.05).The PSQI total score of the isolation people was significantly higher than that of the Chinese norm, and for the medical isolators, sleep quality decreased, take longer to fall asleep, and they were more prone to sleep disorders(P<0.05).The depression and stress subscale scores of the isolated people were higher than those of the normal Chinese, and the anxiety and stress subscales in the autonomous isolators were significantly higher than those in the medical isolators(P<0.05). Conclusions: The mental health level of quarantine personnel has declined, especially the sleep quality of medical quarantine personnel and the emotional state of autonomous quarantine personnel have been greatly affected, which requires attention.
