“…The broader living context for people with diabetes in the UAE, and unlike other countries, might have facilitated self-management including lack of disruption in the pharmaceutical supply chain, no difficulties in procurement of diabetes medications, no restriction in food supplies, initiatives to support patients such as the delivery of prescribed medicines to people’s homes, and the availability of telemedicine [13] , [29] . As expected and in line with similar studies in other countries, adherence to exercise was the lowest during the pandemic that mandated lockdowns and closure of sport facilities [23] , [26] , [30] .…”

“…Multiple studies have reported an increase in anxiety, depression, and stress during the COVID-19 pandemic (4,13,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36). One potential reason could be the pandemic's influence on the economy and workforce.…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is a global threat which has challenged mental resilience and impacted the psychological well-being of people across all age groups globally. The present study aimed to investigate how financial difficulties during the pandemic correlate with mental health among residents of Bangladesh.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 4,020 residents from different parts of Bangladesh between July and September 2020, during a period of elevated risk of COVID-19 infection. A self-reported online questionnaire comprising socio-demographic, financial difficulties and psychometric measures (to assess depression, anxiety and stress) was used to gather information from participants. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with mental health consequences.Results: The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in the sample were 71.1%, 62.3%, and 56.7%, respectively. Levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were significantly higher among participants who reported female sex, being unmarried, smaller families, higher monthly family income, poor self-perceived health status, living near people who had been infected by COVID-19, probability of decreased income, food scarcity (both during the pandemic and in the future) and the possibility of unemployment. However, due to the nature of the cross-sectional study performed with a convenience sampling method, the causal relationship between variables cannot be justified.Conclusions: After several months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh, more than half of the respondents rated their mental health concerns as moderate to severe. The findings highlight the contributing factors of poor mental health which warrant the creation of interventions that address the economic, financial and mental health impacts of the pandemic.

“…During the COVID-19 pandemic, various studies conducted with different demographics in Bangladesh reported mental health problems. For instance, anxiety, depression, panic, worry, stress, suicidal ideation, and behavioral problems (such as problematic use of smartphones, internet, and social media) were prevalent in Bangladesh (11,12,15,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39). However, the sleep quality of the general population has received comparatively little attention in studies during the pre-COVID-19 period and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected the sleep quality of individuals, and is a poorly investigated area. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence estimate of poor sleep quality and its associated factors among Bangladeshi residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was carried out from July 20 to August 5, 2020, involving 975 Bangladeshi residents (male: 54.2%; mean age: 26.7 ± 9.4 years; age range: 18–75 years). A self-reported questionnaire was answered by the respondents, covering information on demographic characteristics, perceived physical health status, COVID-19-related factors, COVID-19-induced anxiety assessment, and sleep quality. To assess sleep quality, the Bangla version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used. Logistic regression models were performed to analyze the factors associated with sleep quality.Results: The prevalence estimate of poor sleep quality was 55.1% among the Bangladeshi people during the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the multiple regression analysis, poor sleep quality was significantly higher among respondents who reported female gender, moderate/poor health status, indirect contact with COVID-19 infected patients, decreased household income due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fear of infection, and COVID-19-induced anxiety.Conclusion: Poor sleep quality was slightly prevalent among general people in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate an immediate response for this vulnerable group to improve the sleep quality during the public health emergency of COVID-19.
