This study investigated the longitudinal development of PTSD symptoms and respiratory sequelae among COVID-19 patients one year after hospital discharge. The cumulative occurrence of probable PTSD in COVID-19 survivors (n = 329) was 26.7%, which significantly decreased over the 12-month period (23.1% to 4.3%). Non-severe patients showed marked improvement in all four clusters of PTSD symptoms at 12 months compared to 3 months, while severe patients only showed improvements in re-experiencing and numbing symptoms. Moreover, being female and having respiratory sequelae increased the risk for chronic PTSD. Psychological interventions are required for COVID-19 patients during long-term convalescence.
这项研究调查了 COVID-19 患者出院一年后 PTSD 症状和呼吸后遗症的纵向发展。COVID-19 幸存者(n=329)中可能患有 PTSD 的累积发生率为 26.7%,在 12 个月期间显著下降(从 23.1%降至 4.3%)。与 3 个月相比,非重症患者在 PTSD 症状的所有四个聚类中在 12 个月时均有明显改善,而重症患者仅在再体验和麻木症状方面有所改善。此外,女性和有呼吸后遗症会增加慢性 PTSD 的风险。COVID-19 患者在长期康复期间需要心理干预。
