Abstract

This qualitative narrative study describes the stories of persons with Long COVID. Four individuals participated in semi-structured interviews with photo elicitation. Thematic analysis yielded six themes: symptom complexity, deep emotional impact, changes to daily life, not being believed, navigating healthcare alone, and positive influence of social support illustrating that persons with Long COVID experience major changes in their bodies, routines, and relationships. The results can inform occupational therapy services by encouraging occupational therapy practitioners to pursue updated Long COVID-specific continuing education and address the functional limitations, role competencies, support systems, and life priorities of these clients.
