CORONAVIRUS REHABILITATION EFFECT OF MENTAL FACTORS

Abstract

This monograph analyzes the long-term mental and physical effects of COVID-19 among hospitalized COVID-19 patients; approximately 80% experience at least one lingering symptom, while 28% of non-hospitalized individuals report ongoing issues. Common symptoms include fatigue, headache, sleep disorders, depression, and anxiety. Symptoms of depression, such as loss of interest, hopelessness, sleep difficulties, and poor concentration, tend to 

improve over time. However, anxiety symptoms—including nervousness, irritability, and difficulty relaxing—also persist in many cases.

Our research highlights the prevalence of post-COVID complications, including cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine, immune, and musculoskeletal issues. Based on patient surveys, 46.7% required rehabilitation measures, while 70% reported physical changes four months after recovery. Understanding these factors is crucial in developing effective rehabilitation strategies.
