Official Title
Psychological Impact, Mental Health and Sleep Disorder Among Patients Hospitalized and Health Care Workers During the 2019 Coronavirus Outbreak (COVID-19)
Brief Summary

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the last coronavirus discovered, called SARS-CoV-2. Symptoms encountered in COVID-19 are: cough, breathing difficulties (dyspnea, chest pain, etc.), pyrexia, anosmia (loss of smell) and/or dysgeusia (loss of taste), but also ENT symptoms (rhinitis type, odynophagia), headaches, asthenia, muscle pain, confusion and diarrhea. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can also be asymptomatic. COVID-19 can be passed from person to person by respiratory droplets expelled when a person speaks, coughs or sneezes. The currently estimated incubation period ranges from 1 to 14 days, and most often this is around 5 days. According to a literature review, there is strong evidence that COVID-19 has an impact on mental health (anxiety being the most common symptom) whether in the general population, healthcare workers or vulnerable populations. The objective of this project is to assess mental health and sleep disorders within two populations: elderly patients and nursing staff.
