The unintended consequences of COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina: the case of sleep disorders during lockdown

Objectives: This study aims to explore the unintended consequences of the COVID-19 lockdown in Argentina by assessing sleep disorders developed during quarantine and analyzing the interplay between gender and social gradients of health with sleep disorders. Methods: The study adopted a cross-section...

Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional design by drawing data from the Argentinian Social Debt The study adopted a cross-sectional design by drawing data from the Argentinian Social Debt COVID-19 Survey (n=500) carried out in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires in May 2020. COVID-19 survey (n=500) carried out in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires in May 2020. Descriptive and correlational analyses were carried out using SPSS (version 25) to describe the occurrence of sleep disorders produced during quarantine. Results: The results show that during lockdown the local population presented a lower quality of sleep. Among the analysed groups, women and the youngest group were the most affected (p<0.005). Furthermore, although the four socioeconomic groups examined in this study have all suffered sleep disorders during lockdown, the respondents with lower socioeconomic status are found to have been more affected than the others. Conclusions: The correlational analysis indicates that a lower socio-occupational stratum corresponds to a higher degree of changes in the circadian rhythm during the lockdown period. The main contribution of this study lies in illustrating, from a local perspective, one aspect of the unintended consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns on sleep health. Additionally, it serves to inform local health policies about the importance of considering human health as an integral process, without prioritizing the biological sphere over other aspects. 2025-08-21T17:20:12Z 2025-08-21T17:20:12Z 2023 Artículo 2751-0069 https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/20357 10.1515/ajmedh-2023-0007 eng Atribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ application/pdf Argentina De Gruyter Brill Asian Journal of Medical Humanities. 2(1), 2023.
