A study of the Mental health assessment among COVID 19 patients

Abstract

Background: People's mental health has been impacted by the novel corona virus COVID 19. According to studies, a significant percentage of people who have recovered from the infection have mental health problems. The research was carried out on people who had recovered from COVID 19 in the previous year. Participants were contacted a month after being discharged from the hospital and encouraged to complete a questionnaire that included the DASS and IES scales. Anxiety, depression, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder were all examined in the results (PTSD). Those with scores that indicated severe levels were encouraged to see a psychiatrist for proper treatment and therapy. The results of the DASS revealed that 2.5 percent of the participants had scores indicative of severe stress, 25.3 percent had scores indicative of severe anxiety, and 7.3 percent had scores indicative of severe depression. According to the results of the IES, 15.1 percent of the participants said the event had a significant impact on their mental health, and 17.2 percent of the participants had scores that indicated the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. There is a strong link between IES scores and the severity of lung involvement.

La salud mental de los sobrevivientes de COVID-19

“…Prevalencias más altas (93,2%) a la del estudio sólo fueron reportadas en un grupo de ancianos diagnosticados con COVID-19 hospitalizados no en UCI, dos semanas después del alta (96). En hospitalizados diferentes a UCI, es decir casos leves a moderados, otros investigadores hallaron síntomas de ansiedad medidos con diferentes instrumentos entre 5,1% y 33,7% (97,98,99,100,101,102,103).…”
