Topic:

  • A cross-sectional study used validated questionnaires to assess social capital, anxiety, stress, and quality of sleep on 170 individuals who self-isolated for 14 days in central China. Results suggest that increased social capital (i.e. friends and community engagement, etc.) improved sleep quality by reducing stress and anxiety.
