چکیده مقاله:

Background: The emergence of COVID-۱۹ caused significant changes in the lifestyle of older adults and developed psychological disorders such as anxiety. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between anxiety caused by COVID-۱۹ and changes in the lifestyle behaviors of older adults in Iran.  Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted on ۲۶۵ older adults covered by the comprehensive health service centers in Zanjan, Iran in ۲۰۲۲. They were selected using a convenience sampling method from among randomly selected comprehensive health centers. Data was collected using a demographic form, Bernardo’s coronavirus pandemic anxiety scale, and Kumari’s lifestyle-related behavior change scale. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, Mean±SD) were used to describe the data. Pearson’s correlation test was utilized to examine the relationship between the study variables in SPSS software, version ۱۶. Results: All participants had severe anxiety (Mean total score: ۲۲.۲۳+۳.۴۷). The mean score for the non-somatic symptoms of anxiety (۱۱.۵۵+۲.۳۴) was higher than that of somatic symptoms (۱۰.۶۷+۱.۹۴). The mean score of changes in lifestyle behaviors indicated the occurrence of more unfavorable changes (-۲.۳۸±۷.۱۳). A negative and significant correlation was found between COVID-۱۹-related anxiety and lifestyle behavior changes among older adults (P<۰.۰۰۱). Conclusion: There is a negative and significant relationship between COVID-۱۹-related anxiety (somatic and non-somatic) and changes in lifestyle behaviors (exercise/physical activity, eating habits, and sleep/rest) among Iranian older adults. Due to the possibility of similar pandemics in the future, it is necessary to provide educational, supportive, and counseling programs to them to improve their healthy lifestyle behaviors and control their anxiety levels.
