Several people suffered from fatigue after recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, limited studies focused on fatigue in women who recovered from COVID-19 infection. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of fatigue among Thai women after COVID-19 infection and to identify predictive factors, including depression, anxiety, fear, and insomnia.
A cross-sectional research design using convenience sampling was conducted from October 2022 to January 2023. A total of 142 Thai women after COVID-19 infection were recruited from two urban communities located in the Bangkok Metropolitan area, Thailand. The participants completed self-reported questionnaires, including the demographic and illness-related data questionnaire, the Depress Anxiety Stress Scales, the Insomnia Severity Index, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire, and the Fatigue Severity Scale. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, range, Pearson's product-moment correlations, and stepwise multiple regression.
All (100%) participants returned the questionnaires. After recovering from COVID-19 infection for at least 1 month or longer, 39.40% of the participants reported fatigue. The multiple regression analysis revealed that fear, anxiety, and insomnia collectively contributed to 47% of the variance in the participants' fatigue (R = 0.47; < 0.001).
Nearly two-quarters of Thai women after recovering from COVID-19 infection experienced fatigue. To prevent fatigue among Thai women after COVID-19 infection, it is necessary to help them overcome feelings of fear and anxiety. Furthermore, nursing interventions aiming to alleviate insomnia should be implemented.
数人在从2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）康复后出现疲劳症状。然而，针对从COVID-19感染中康复的女性疲劳情况的研究有限。本研究旨在调查泰国女性在COVID-19感染后疲劳的患病率，并确定包括抑郁、焦虑、恐惧和失眠在内的预测因素。
采用便利抽样的横断面研究设计，于2022年10月至2023年1月进行。从泰国曼谷都会区的两个城市社区招募了142名COVID-19感染后的泰国女性。参与者完成了自我报告问卷，包括人口统计学和疾病相关数据问卷、抑郁焦虑压力量表、失眠严重程度指数、病情进展恐惧问卷和疲劳严重程度量表。数据采用均值、标准差、范围、Pearson积差相关和逐步多元回归进行分析。
所有（100%）参与者都返回了问卷。在从COVID-19感染中康复至少1个月或更长时间后，39.40%的参与者报告有疲劳症状。多元回归分析显示，恐惧、焦虑和失眠共同导致了参与者疲劳差异的47%（R = 0.47；<0.001）。
近四分之二的泰国女性在从COVID-19感染中康复后出现疲劳症状。为预防泰国女性在COVID-19感染后出现疲劳，有必要帮助她们克服恐惧和焦虑情绪。此外，应实施旨在缓解失眠的护理干预措施。
