The aim of this study is to assess the persistence of symptoms, the prevalence of post-COVID-19 syndrome, and the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among health care workers (HCWs) 6 months after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection.
A prospective cohort study was conducted. All HCWs with confirmed COVID-19 from January to June 2021 were invited to participate. Health-related quality of life was evaluated in three moments: before COVID-19, after COVID-19 (on return to work), and after 6 months. Persistence of symptoms post-COVID-19 was also assessed.
There was a worsening in all dimensions of HRQOL. After 6 months, self-rated health on EuroQol visual analog scale did not return to pre-COVID-19 values. At total, 36.2% of HCWs were diagnosed with post-COVID-19 syndrome.
There was a significant deterioration in HRQOL among HCWs who had COVID-19 and a high frequency of post-COVID-19 syndrome.
本研究旨在评估严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 感染 6 个月后，医护人员（HCWs）症状持续存在、新冠后综合征流行率和健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）。
进行了一项前瞻性队列研究。邀请所有 2021 年 1 月至 6 月确诊 COVID-19 的 HCWs 参加。在三个时间点评估健康相关生活质量：COVID-19 之前、COVID-19 后（重返工作岗位时）和 6 个月后。还评估了 COVID-19 后症状的持续存在情况。
所有 HRQOL 维度均恶化。6 个月后，EuroQol 视觉模拟量表的自我报告健康状况未恢复到 COVID-19 前的数值。共有 36.2%的 HCWs 被诊断为新冠后综合征。
患有 COVID-19 的 HCWs 的 HRQOL 显著恶化，新冠后综合征的发病率很高。
