Abstract

Objective: We aimed to investigate the proportion of Stress and some related factors in patients after recovery from COVID-19 who were examined at Military Hospital 103. Subjects and methods: a total of 111 patients aged from 20 to 48 years old with history of being diagnosed as  positive for Covid-19 by realtime RT-PCR test or Rapid antigen test were recruited at the Department of Functional Diagnostics, Military Hospital 103 from February 2022 to May 2022. The patient's stress status was assessed using the Anxiety - Depression - Stress assessment questionnaire (DASS 21). Pearson correlation or Independent Samples T-Test is used to evaluate relationships between Stress score with age, height, weight, BMI, time after Covid-19 infection, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. Analysis of variance was used to compare the Stress score between the groups of subjects after mild, moderate and severe COVID-19 infection. Results: The proportion of patients with symptoms of Stress was 15.3%. The group of patients who smoked and were infected with severe COVID-19 they showed significant increase in Stress score as compared with the group who did not smoke and recovered from mild and moderate COVID-19 infection. Conclusion: The proportion of Stress manifestations in subjects after recovery from COVID-19 was 15.3%. Smoking and severe post-COVID-19 infection were risk factors for increased stress in subjects after recovery from COVID-19 infection.
