Abstract

To verify associations between sleep parameters, anxiety and depression symptoms and physical activity level in healthcare professionals during COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated sleep quality (SQ), excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), anxiety and depression symptoms and physical activity level (PAL) in healthcare professionals who worked during COVID-19 pandemic in Recife-Brazil. Correlations were observed between SQ and anxiety (p < 0.001) and depression (p < 0.001), as well between EDS and anxiety: p < 0.05) and depression (p < 0 .05). No correlations were found between PAL and sleep parameters (QS: p > 0.05) (EDS: p > 0.05). No association was observed between SQ and anxiety (p = 0.005) and depression (p = 0.014). No association was found between EDS and anxiety and depression symptoms. In healthcare professionals during COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety and depression symptoms are predictors of sleep quality. No association was found between anxiety and depression symptoms and EDS.
