Sleep pattern in the US and 16 European countries during the COVID-19 outbreak using crowdsourced smartphone data.

ABSTRACT: Background: To stop the spread of the new coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19), many countries had completely locked down. This lockdown restricted the everyday life of the affected residents and changed their mobility pattern, but its effects on sleep pattern were largely unknown.

Methods: Here, utilizing one of the largest crowdsourced database (Sleep as Android), we analyzed the sleep pattern of 25,217 users with 1,352,513 sleep records between 1st January and 29th April 2020 in the US and 16 European countries (Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Czech, Sweden, Austria, Poland, and Switzerland) with more than 100 records in all days of 2020.

Results: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the sleeping pattern before and after the country-level lockdown largely differed. The subjects increased their sleep duration by an average of 11.3 to 18.6?min on weekday nights, except Denmark (4.9?min) and Finland (7.1?min). In addition, subjects form all 16 European countries delayed their sleep onset from 10.7?min (Sweden) to 29.6?min (Austria).

Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, residents in the US and 16 European countries delayed their bedtime and slept longer than usual.

Project description:BackgroundThe pharmacy profession has an important role in the frontline healthcare response to COVID-19 across all settings.ObjectiveThis study sought to explore the views and experiences of clinical pharmacists in relation to the provision of clinical pharmacy services during COVID-19.MethodsSemi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with pharmacists working in clinical roles in healthcare settings across Europe. Participants were recruited through professional organisations of clinical and hospitals pharmacists combined with a snowballing technique. The Pharmacy Emergency Preparedness and Response Framework and Disaster Preparedness Framework for pharmacy services were used to generate data which were analysed using the thematic framework method.ResultsTwenty-two participants from 16 European countries described a range of measures to protect patients, public and healthcare staff against virus transmission including developing and disseminating educational materials. Most described their involvement in aspects of evidence provision such as facilitating clinical trials, gathering and appraising evidence and disseminating clinical information. Many hospital-based pharmacists were reassigned to new roles such as intensive care. Routine clinical services were extensively interrupted and remote forms of communication were used. Most were motivated by a strong sense of professionalism to continue delivering services. A number of facilitators and barriers to prevention, preparedness and response actions were identified which related to uptake of new roles, recognition of pharmacists roles in the healthcare team, information gathering, communication with patients and healthcare professionals, and provision of routine clinical services.ConclusionsParticipants in this multinational qualitative study described a range of service adaptations and adoption of novel roles to prevent and mitigate the public health impact of the pandemic. The study findings may help to inform governments, public health agencies and healthcare systems in harnessing ongoing service provision and adapt to any future interruptions.
