20.500.12556/RUL-189515 Doživljanje kognitivnih težav pri osebah z dolgim covidom in spoprijemanje z njimi Nevrološki tip dolgega covida zaznamujejo simptomi kognitivne oviranosti, ki se razvijejo v treh mesecih po akutni fazi, trajajo vsaj dva meseca in jih ni mogoče pojasniti z drugo diagnozo. Raziskave so na podlagi subjektivnih poročil ali nevropsihološkega testiranja pokazale oškodovanost različnih kognitivnih področij. Pričujoča raziskava preučuje, kako posamezniki, ki poročajo o simptomih dolgega covida, zaznavajo in opisujejo svoje nevrološke simptome in kognitivne spremembe ter kakšen vpliv imajo ti simptomi na njihovo življenje in psihološko blagostanje. Na podlagi Sheme raziskovalnih domenskih kriterijev (RDoC) sva avtorici razvili polstrukturirani intervju, ki je zajemal več kognitivnih področij – pozornost, zaznavanje, deklarativni in delovni spomin, jezik ter kognitivni nadzor – in njihove poddomene. Intervjuje sva izvedli z namenskim vzorcem 15 oseb v delovno aktivni starosti, ki so poročale o dolgem covidu. Iz njihovih poglobljenih, natančnih opisov kognitivnih težav je razvidno, da so po okužbi zaznale spremembe na vseh omenjenih področjih kognicije. Najpogostejše in najizrazitejše težave so doživljale na področjih pozornosti (npr. težave z vzdrževano pozornostjo in večopravilnostjo, odkrenljivost), spomina (npr. težave s kratkoročnim, epizodičnim in prospektivnim spominom, težave pri priklicu določenih besed) ter senzoričnih izkušenj. Kognitivne simptome je pogosto spremljala utrujenost ali omotica. Zaznani primanjkljaji v kogniciji so pri udeležencih povzročali hudo stisko in težave z duševnim zdravjem, tudi slabše nadzorovanje čustev. Doživljanje simptomov, še posebej kognitivnih, je opazno zmanjševalo njihovo funkcionalnost ter negativno vplivalo na njihovo samopodobo in psihično blagostanje. Uvidi, pridobljeni z raziskavo, lahko prispevajo k boljši prepoznavi kognitivnih težav po covidu in razvoju ukrepov, ki sledijo potrebam oseb z dolgim covidom. The neurological subtype of long COVID (PASC) is characterized by symptoms of cognitive impairment that develop within three months after the acute phase, persist for at least two months, and cannot be explained by another diagnosis. Based on subjective reports or neuropsychological testing, studies have demonstrated impairments across various cognitive domains. In the present study, we examined how individuals reporting symptoms of PASC perceive and describe their neurological symptoms and cognitive changes, as well as the impact these symptoms have on their lives and psychological well-being. Drawing on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework, we developed a semi-structured interview covering several cognitive domains—attention, perception, declarative and working memory, language, and cognitive control—and their subdomains. Interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 15 working-age adults reporting PASC symptoms. Their in-depth and detailed descriptions of cognitive difficulties indicated that they perceived changes across all the aforementioned cognitive domains following infection. The most frequent and pronounced difficulties were experienced in the domains of attention (e.g., problems with sustained attention and multitasking, distractibility), memory (e.g., problems with short-term, episodic, and prospective memory, and difficulties retrieving specific words), and sensory experiences. Cognitive symptoms were often accompanied by fatigue or dizziness. The perceived cognitive deficits caused severe distress and mental health difficulties among participants, including reduced emotional regulation. Experiencing these symptoms, particularly cognitive ones, noticeably reduced their functioning and negatively affected their self-image and psychological well-being. The insights gained from this study may contribute to improved recognition of post-COVID cognitive difficulties and to the development of interventions tailored to the needs of individuals with PASC. dolgi covid kognicija kognitivni primanjkljaji RDoC kvalitativno raziskovanje polstrukturirani intervju long COVID cognition cognitive deficits RDoC qualitative research semi-structured interview true false true Založba Univerze v Ljubljani Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2026-10-08 10:42:39 2026-10-08 10:42:47 2026-10-10 03:48:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 Ljubljana 0 Str. 233-267 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 159.95:616-036.21 294209027 291448323 11+Pika+Ranc+in+Anja+Podlesek.pdf 11+Pika+Ranc+in+Anja+Podlesek.pdf 1 8EEF4322D015CD04A87819532EAB16A8 b4390a931262869f0025736dfc185684147c716a8b63ac20f16f831112787490 3890b8d6-c2f4-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=250125 https://ebooks.uni-lj.si/ZalozbaUL/catalog/book/962/chapter/4948 1 183ed084-c2f4-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=250123 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
