Sažetak
Background: COVID-19 is the biggest pandemic of the last century. While a large number of cases and mortality rates direct the
research to the clinic and prognosis of the disease, the mental health of these patients has recently become a matter of concern. This
study aims to predict psychiatric morbidity and possible associated markers in COVID-19 survivors.
Subjects and methods: A total of 102 survivors with COVID-19 infection participated in this study. A questionnaire was applied
to the participants to evaluate demographic variables, history of comorbid diseases, smoking, loss of a relative due to COVID-19,
and environmental attitudes after the discharge. Length of hospitalization, lung findings, intensive care history and treatments were
recorded. Psychiatric morbidities were evaluated with General Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and The
National Stressful Events Survey PTSD Short Scale.
Results: Anxiety was found in 20.6%, depression in 13.7% based on moderate and above levels, 21.6% had significant PTSD.
Female gender, history of psychiatric and comorbid diseases, smoking, perceived discrimination, and lack of long-lasting immunity
posed a risk in terms of psychological response. There was a negative correlation between age and depression scores. No relation
was found between the duration of hospitalization, presence of lung involvement, receiving intensive care treatment, losing a relative
due to COVID-19 and psychological response.
Conclusions: On patients treated for COVID-19 infection, psychological response continue after discharge. Mental health
support and efforts to reduce stigma among infected subjects can reduce the psychological impact caused by the pandemic.
