Abstract

Objectives: to verify whether adherence to the social distancing measure and sociodemographic characteristics are associated with perceived changes, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in sleep quality and affective experiences of Brazilians living in Minas Gerais. Method: a cross-sectional study that analyzed data from an online questionnaire applied to adults and older adults living in the state of Minas Gerais. Prevalence values and prevalence ratios, both adjusted and adjusted, were estimated for the variables investigated. Results: between 35% and 55% of the respondents reported changes in affective experiences, such as loneliness, sadness and anxiety, as well as changes in sleep during the social isolation period. In general, those alterations were more frequent among those who adhered to intense or total isolation, female individuals and younger people. Conclusion: in this study, important changes were observed in sleep quality and in the affective experiences of the population of Minas Gerais, affecting more females, younger people and individuals who adhered to intense social isolation. It is important to offer mental health care in order to avoid the negative impacts of social distancing in pandemic situations.
