Abstract

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is an extraordinary experience around the world; however, its effect on physical activity, anxiety, and seizure frequency remains unknown among epilepsy patients in the time of the national lockdown. We aimed toinvestigate whether the physical activity, anxiety, and seizure frequency were affected during the national lockdown of the first 3 months inpatients with epilepsy.Methods: Forty-seven epilepsy patients participated in this study. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF; metabolic equivalent [MET]-min/week) was used to measure physical activity level. Patients’ anxiety was assessed with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7; score). The patients answered the IPAQ-SF and GAD-7 questions through telephone interviews.Results: The total IPAQ-SF (MET-min/week) scores of patients decreased during the national lockdown compared to pre-lockdown period,while the daily sitting time (min/day) increased (p

Özet

Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19) pandemisi dünya genelinde sıra dışı bir deneyimdir, fakat ulusal çapta uygulanan sokağa çıkma yasağının epilepsili hastalarda fiziksel aktivite, anksiyete ve nöbet sıklığı üzerine etkisi bilinmemektedir. Biz, ulusal düzeyde uygulanan sokağa çıkma yasağının ilk üç aylık döneminde epilepsili hastaların fiziksel aktivite, anksiyete ve nöbet sıklığının etkilenip etkilenmediğini araştırmayın amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 47 epilepsi hastası katıldı. Fiziksel aktivite düzeyini değerlendirmek için Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Form (UFAA; metabolik eşdeğer [MET]-dk/hafta) kullanıldı. Hastaların anksiyete düzeyi Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu 7 (YAB-7; skor) ile değerlendirildi. Hastalar, UFAA ve YAB-7 sorularını telefon görüşmesiyle cevapladı.Bulgular: Hastaların toplam UFAA (MET-dk/hafta) skorları ulusal çapta uygulanan sokağa çıkma yasağı sırasında azalırken, oturma süreleri (dk/gün) arttı (p
