BackgroundPeople with long-haul COVID-19 could experience various health problems, from mild to severe. This research aimed to identify the effect of long-haul COVID-19, specifically on the Quality-of-Life domains experienced by COVID-19 patients who have been discharged.MethodsData collection was done online, using data from DKI Jakarta hospitalized patients confirmed with and recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infections. We selected patients who have a minimum of 28 days after being hospitalized for COVID-19 positive. The Logistic regression technique was used to analyze the data. The questionnaire used in this research contained questions regarding long-haul COVID-19 symptoms and domains of Quality of Life, which WHOQOL-BREF measured. Before collecting data, we tested the questionnaire with 30 recovered patients hospitalized outside DKI Jakarta.Results172 recovered inpatients who filled out the questionnaire correctly and were aged 18 years and above were randomly selected. Almost one-third (30.2%) of the recovered inpatients had long-haul COVID-19, with 23.8% experiencing one long-haul symptom and 6.4% experiencing more than one symptom. This research also showed that the long-haul effects of COVID-19 affected almost all domains of Quality of Life except the environmental one. Age, gender, and marital status were covariates for the association between long-haul COVID-19 and The Quality of Life.ConclusionContinuing health services after the patient is discharged from the hospital is an important program for COVID-19 survivors because it can prevent a decline in the Quality of Life among patients due to the long-haul COVID-19.
Background: People with long-haul COVID-19 could experience various health problems, from mild to more severe ones. This research aimed to identify the effect of long-haul COVID-19, specifically on the Quality of Life domains, experienced by COVID-19 patients who have been discharged. Method: Data collection was carried out online, using data from DKI Jakarta hospitalized patients who have been confirmed with and recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infections. We selected patients who have a minimum of 28 days after being hospitalized for COVID-19 positive. Logistic regression technique was used to analyze the data. The questionnaire used in this research contained questions regarding long-haul COVID 19 symptoms and domains of Quality of Life, which were measured by WHOQOL-BREF. Prior to the data collection, we tested the questionnaire with 30 recovered patients who were hospitalized outside DKI Jakarta. Result: In total of 172 recovered inpatients who filled out the questionnaire correctly and aged 18 years and above, were selected by random sampling. Almost one-third (30.2%) of the recovered inpatients had long-haul COVID 19, with 23.8% experiencing one long-haul symptom and 6.4% experiencing more than one symptom.

People with long-haul COVID-19 could experience various health problems, from milder to more severe ones. This study aimed to identify the effect of long-haul COVID-19, specifically on the Quality of Life domains, experienced by COVID-19 patients who have been discharged. Data collection was carried out online, using data from DKI Jakarta hospitalized patients who have been confirmed with and recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infections. We selected patients who were at least a month away from the onset of COVID-19. Logistic regression technique was used to analyse the data. The questionnaire used in this study contained questions regarding long-haul COVID 19 symptoms and domains of Quality of Life, which were measured by WHOQOL-BREF. Prior to the data collection, we tested the questionnaire with 30 recovered patients who were hospitalized outside DKI Jakarta. Of the 172 recovered inpatients who filled out the questionnaire correctly and aged 18 years or more selected by random sampling, 30.2% had long-haul COVID 19. Respondents who only experienced one long-haul COVID-19 symptom had a proportion of 23.8 %, while those who experienced more than one long-haul COVID-19 symptom had a proportion of 6.4%. This study showed that the long-haul effects of COVID-19 affected almost all domains in Quality of Life except the environmental one. Age, gender, and marital status were covariates for the association between long-haul COVID 19 and the Quality of Life domains. In conclusion, coordination between health service providers and public health officers is essential to obtain an adequate response of post surveillance for recovered COVID-19 patients.
Background People with long-haul COVID could experience various health problems, from mild to more severe ones. This research aimed to identify the effect of long-haul COVID, specifically on the Quality of Life domains, experienced by COVID 19 survivor. Data collection was carried out online, using data from DKI Jakarta hospitalized patients who have been confirmed with and recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infections. We selected patients who have a minimum of 28 days after being hospitalized for COVID 19 positive. Logistic regression technique was used to analyze the data. The questionnaire used in this research was measured by WHOQOL-BREF. The WHOQOL-BREF is a self-administered questionnaire comprising 26 questions on the individual's perceptions of their health and well-being over the previous two weeks. Prior to the data collection, we tested the questionnaire with 30 recovered patients who were hospitalized outside DKI Jakarta. Result In total of 172 recovered inpatients who filled out the questionnaire correctly and aged 18 years and above, were selected by random sampling. Almost one-third (30.2%) of the recovered inpatients had long-haul COVID, with 23.8% experiencing one long-haul symptom and 6.4% experiencing more than one symptom. This research also showed that the long-haul effects of COVID affected almost all domains of Quality of Life except the environmental one. Age, gender, and marital status were covariates for the association between long-haul COVID and The Quality of Life. Conclusion Due to the long-haul COVID effect on the decline in Quality of Life, the continuation of health services after discharge from the hospital is an important program to prevent it.
