Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The rapid speed of spread of SARS-CoV-2 and the concern that health services would collapse due to the enormous demand for care, especially for the most seriously ill patients, caused practically all countries in the world to adopt measures, such as isolation. to try to reduce the rate of viral transmission. These prevention measures had social, economic impacts and on the physical and mental health of populations, especially the most vulnerable. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the impact on quality of life, sleep and functioning among suspected and confirmed Covid-19 patients, in a primary health care unit in the city of Fortaleza-CE METHODS: Crosssectionalstudy, carried out on patients diagnosed with Covid-19 and Flu Syndrome (FS) in a UAPS in the city of Fortaleza. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, WHODAS 2.0, SF-12 and PSQI, which assess functionality, quality of life and quality of sleep. Descriptive measures were used to describe the population and for inferential analysis, Student's t, MannWhitney and Fisher's chi-square tests. RESULTS: The sample included 120 patients with flu-like symptoms, of which 60 were diagnosed with Covid-19. Women with an average age of 42 years, mixed race and employed were most affected by Covid-19. The individuals with a negative Covid19 test result were the majority of women, with an average age of 35 years, single, mixed race and employed. Only the age variable showed statistical significance for patients with Covid-19. Regarding functioning, the domains that demonstrated the greatest impacts were domestic activity and work/study activity, without statistical significance. However, SG patients had greater impairment in the cognition domain, with statistical significance. There was a negative impact on quality of life, both in aspects of physical and mental health in all groups (Covid-19 and FS). Sleep quality was affected in both groups, presenting sleep disorders or poor sleep quality. CONCLUSION: Both people with FS and those with Covid-19 had impacts on functionality in the domains of domestic activity, work/study activity and cognition, negative impacts on sleep quality and aspects of physical health and mental health regardless of the presence of the disease.
