Abstract：
Background/Objectives: The forced social isolation implemented to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus was accompanied by a worsening of mental health, an increase in insomnia symptoms, and the emergence of \'skin hunger\'-an increased longing for personal touch. This study aimed to enhance our understanding of the interconnection between sleep, mental health, and the need for physical (NPC) and real-life social contact (NRL-SC). Methods: A total of 2827 adults participated in an online survey during the second COVID-19 lockdown. A Bayesian Gaussian copula graphical model (BGCGM) and a Bayesian-directed acyclic graph (DAG) were estimated, and mixed ANOVAs were carried out. Results: NPC with non-family members (t(2091) = 12.55, p < 0.001, d = 0.27) and relational lifestyle satisfaction (t(2089) = 13.62, p < 0.001, d = 0.30) were lower during the second lockdown than before the pandemic. In our BGCGM, there were weak positive edges between the need for PC and RL-SC on one hand and sleep and mental health on the other. Conclusions: During the second lockdown, people craved less physical contact with non-family members and were less satisfied with their relational lifestyle than before the pandemic. Individuals with a greater need for PC and RL-SC reported poorer mental health (i.e., worry, depression, and mental fatigue).
摘要：
背景/目标：为防止COVID-19病毒传播而实施的强制社会隔离伴随着心理健康的恶化，失眠症状的增加，以及“皮肤饥饿”的出现-对个人触摸的渴望增加。这项研究旨在增强我们对睡眠之间相互联系的理解，心理健康,以及对身体(NPC)和现实生活中社交(NRL-SC)的需求。方法：在第二次COVID-19封锁期间，共有2827名成年人参加了一项在线调查。估计了贝叶斯高斯copula图形模型（BGCGM）和贝叶斯有向无环图（DAG），并进行混合ANOVAs。结果：非家庭成员的NPC（t（2091）=12.55，p<0.001，d=0.27）和关系生活方式满意度（t（2089）=13.62，p<0.001，d=0.30）在第二次封锁期间低于大流行前。在我们的BGCGM中，一方面对PC和RL-SC的需求与另一方面对睡眠和心理健康的需求之间存在微弱的积极优势。结论：在第二次封锁期间，与大流行前相比，人们对非家庭成员的身体接触的渴望减少，对他们的关系生活方式的满意度降低。对PC和RL-SC有更大需求的个人报告说心理健康较差(即，担心,抑郁症,和精神疲劳)。
