Italy was the first European country that entered a nationwide lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since quarantine can impact on mental health, this study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and sleeping disturbances in the Italian population during lockdown. The factors that might influence such outcomes were explored. A national cross-sectional survey was performed during the last 14 days of the Italian lockdown. Questionnaires assessed socio-demographics characteristic, behaviors and healthcare access. The outcomes were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-2 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2. Participants with sleep disturbances completed the Insomnia Severity Index. The sample size was 1515. Depression and anxiety symptom prevalence was 24.7% and 23.2%; 42.2% had sleep disturbances and, among them, 17.4% reported moderate/severe insomnia. Being female, an increased time spent on the internet and an avoidance of activities through peer pressure increased the likelihood of at least one mental health outcome. Increasing age, an absence of work-related troubles and being married or being a cohabitant reduced such a probability. Females and participants with chronic conditions were associated with a higher prevalence of sleep disturbances. It is crucial to study effective interventions, specifically planning strategies, for more vulnerable groups and to consider the role of the internet.

Covid-19锁定对意大利心理健康和睡眠障碍的影响。

意大利是在COVID-19大流行期间第一个进入全国封锁的欧洲国家。由于隔离可能会影响心理健康，因此本研究旨在评估锁定期间意大利人群中抑郁症状，焦虑症状和睡眠障碍的患病率。探索了可能影响此类结果的因素。意大利封锁的最后14天进行了全国性的横断面调查。问卷评估了社会人口统计学特征，行为和医疗保健机会。使用患者健康问卷2和广义焦虑症2评估结局。有睡眠障碍的参与者完成了失眠严重程度指数。样本量为1515。抑郁和焦虑症状患病率分别为24.7％和23.2％；42.2％的人有睡眠障碍，其中17.4％的人报告中度/重度失眠。作为女性，上网时间增加和同伴压力导致的活动回避增加了至少一种心理健康结果的可能性。年龄增长，没有工作相关的麻烦，结婚或同居降低了这种可能性。女性和慢性病患者与睡眠障碍的患病率较高相关。研究针对更弱势群体的有效干预措施，尤其是计划策略，并考虑互联网的作用至关重要。由于没有与工作有关的麻烦，而结婚或同居则减少了这种可能性。女性和慢性病患者与睡眠障碍的患病率较高相关。研究针对更弱势群体的有效干预措施，尤其是计划策略，并考虑互联网的作用至关重要。由于没有与工作有关的麻烦，而结婚或同居则减少了这种可能性。女性和慢性病患者与睡眠障碍的患病率较高相关。研究针对更弱势群体的有效干预措施，尤其是计划策略，并考虑互联网的作用至关重要。
