Objectives: This descriptive study was planned to evaluate the effect of perceived stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic on dyspnea and sleep quality in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Methods: The study was conducted with 141 COPD patients who met the inclusion criteria from home care patients affiliated with a state hospital in Istanbul between July and October 2021. “Sociodemographic Characteristics Form” “Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)” “Dyspnea-12 Scale” “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)” was used to collect data.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 75.82±10.43. The stress scores associated with the pandemic of the individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were 27.87±3.59. The dyspnea score was 17.20±8.76 in total. The mean Pitsburg Sleep Quality Index score was found to be 7.50±3.21.
Conclusions: It was determined that the stress perceptions associated with the pandemic were high in the individuals with COPD who participated in the study, the severity of dyspnea was moderate and their sleep quality was poor. It was determined that smoking increased the severity of dyspnea, decreased sleep quality, and advanced age increased perceived stress.
