Kognitivne težave pri dolgem covidu

Podlesek, Anja (author)

Poglavje se osredotoča na kognitivne posledice dolgega covida. Predstavlja kognitivne težave v akutni fazi okužbe z virusom SARS-CoV-2 in postakutne posledice covida-19, ki se kažejo kot težave s spominom, izvršilnimi funkcijami, pozornostjo in hitrostjo procesiranja informacij. Predstavlja tudi rezultate slovenske raziskave. Navaja nevrološke in sistemske mehanizme, ki stojijo v ozadju kognitivnih težav, ter poudarja pomen individualnih razlik (starosti, resnosti bolezni, kognitivne rezerve ter genetske ranljivosti) pri razumevanju njihovega obsega in trajanja. V zaključku poglavje izpostavlja nujnost celostnega, na posameznika osredotočenega pristopa k obravnavi teh posledic covida-19, ki naj povezuje kognitivno rehabilitacijo, skrb za duševno zdravje in ustrezno socialno oporo.

Abstract

The chapter focuses on the cognitive consequences of long COVID. It presents cognitive difficulties in the acute phase of SARS-CoV infection and the post-acute consequences of COVID-19, which manifest as problems with memory, executive functions, attention, and information processing speed. It also presents the results of a Slovenian study. The chapter outlines the neurological and systemic mechanisms underlying these cognitive difficulties and highlights the importance of individual differences (age, disease severity, cognitive reserve, and genetic vulnerability) in understanding their extent and duration. In conclusion, the chapter emphasizes the necessity of a holistic, person-centered approach to addressing these consequences of COVID-19, integrating cognitive rehabilitation, mental health care, and appropriate social support.
