Abstract

Young people living with Long COVID are learning to navigate life with a constellation of poorly understood symptoms. Most qualitative studies on experiences living with Long COVID focus on adult populations. This study aimed to understand the experiences of young people living with Long COVID. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews were conducted (n = 16); 11 young people (aged 13-19) and five parents were recruited from the Children and Young People with Long COVID (CLoCk) study (n = 11) or its patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) group (n = 5). Thematic analysis generated four themes: (i) Unravelling Long COVID: Exploring Symptom Journeys and Diagnostic Dilemmas; (ii) Identity Disruption and Adjustment; (iii) Long COVID's Ripple Effect: the impact on Mental Health, Connections, and Education; and (iv) Navigating Long COVID: barriers to support and accessing services. Treatment options were perceived as not widely available or ineffective, emphasising the need for viable and accessible interventions for young people living with Long COVID.

"人们没有答案":长COVID青少年经历的定性探索。
患有长期慢性阻塞性肺病的年轻人正在学习如何在对各种症状知之甚少的情况下生活。大多数关于长COVID患者生活经历的定性研究都集中在成年人群体。本研究旨在了解患有长COVID的年轻人的生活经历。研究人员进行了半结构式定性访谈(n = 16);从长COVID儿童和青少年(CLoCk)研究(n = 11)或其患者和公众参与(PPIE)小组(n = 5)中招募了 11 名青少年(13-19 岁)和 5 名家长。主题分析产生了四个主题:(i) 解读长 COVID:探索症状之旅和诊断困境;(ii) 身份中断和适应;(iii) 长 COVID 的涟漪效应:对心理健康、联系和教育的影响;(iv) 长 COVID 导航:获得支持和服务的障碍。人们认为治疗方案并不普遍或效果不佳,因此强调需要为患有长焦虑抑郁的青少年提供可行且易获得的干预措施。
