Abstract
Introduction: Home-confinement during the COVID-19 outbreak may affect lifestyle behaviours. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of COVID-19 induced home-confinement on lifestyle behaviours and quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction. Materials and methods: Participants health-related quality of life and lifestyle behaviours were assessed using the Health-related Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction-Short Form (HLESQ-SF) questionnaire and the Simple Lifestyle Indicator Questionnaire adapted and modified (SLIQ), respectively. Total raw scores and the % maximum of the HLESQ-SF and lifestyle behaviours, specifically, diet, exercise/activity, alcohol, smoking, and stress, with respect to before and during confinement conditions were calculated. Results: The data showed that rate of overall life satisfaction and contentment, total raw score, % maximum, and exercise/ activity raw score were higher before confinement than during confinement (all, p<0.01). Diet, alcohol, and stress raw scores were higher during confinement than before confinement (all, p<0.05). Conclusion: Home-confinement has a negative effect on physical health, work, social relationships, lifestyle behaviours, and overall quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction.
