Raziskovalni projekt »Dolgotrajni covid kot zapuščina pandemije: psihološki simptomi, psihosocialni dejavniki in posledice« je obravnaval dolgi covid kot pomemben zdravstveni, psihološki ter družbeni izziv po pandemiji covida-19. Namen projekta je bil raziskati psihološke simptome in kognitivne težave, povezane z dolgim covidom, preučiti psihosocialne dejavnike tveganja in varovalne dejavnike ter oceniti vpliv bolezni na vsakodnevno funkcioniranje in kakovost življenja. Projekt je združeval kvantitativne in kvalitativne raziskovalne pristope ter vključeval reprezentativen vzorec odraslih prebivalcev Slovenije in poglobljene intervjuje z osebami z dolgim covidom ter njihovimi svojci. Ugotovitve projekta prispevajo k boljšemu razumevanju psiholoških, socialnih in funkcionalnih posledic dolgega covida ter predstavljajo pomembno podlago za razvoj preventivnih, diagnostičnih in podpornih ukrepov za prizadete posameznike.

Abstract

The research project Long COVID as a Legacy of the Pandemic: Psychological Symptoms, Psychosocial Factors, and Consequences examined long COVID as a major health, psychological, and societal challenge emerging in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project aimed to investigate the psychological symptoms and cognitive difficulties associated with long COVID, identify psychosocial risk and protective factors, and assess the impact of the condition on daily functioning and quality of life. Employing both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, the project included a representative sample of the adult Slovenian population as well as in-depth interviews with individuals experiencing long COVID and their family members. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the psychological, social, and functional consequences of long COVID and provide an important foundation for the development of preventive, diagnostic, and supportive interventions for affected individuals.
