Abstract
Long COVID describes long-term health sequelae after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Despite various theoretical approaches, the pathogenesis of long COVID is not yet fully understood and the diagnostic criteria are vague. This makes the development of targeted, cause-specific therapies challenging. In addition to the symptoms, many patients suffer from various psychosocial burdens and a significantly reduced quality of life. In order to address this, psychosomatic or psychotherapeutic interventions should be used in addition to symptom-oriented treatment. Within the PsyLoCo project, a psychotherapeutic treatment manual was developed that is tailored to the specific needs of long COVID patients. In four modules, it addresses (1) coping and distress management, (2) physical complaints and pain, (3) chronic fatigue and affective symptoms and (4) social and working life. The manual was tested for feasibility and effectiveness in a multicentre, randomized controlled pilot study. The contents of this treatment manual are presented below.
Long COVID描述的是SARS-CoV-2感染后的长期健康后遗症。尽管有各种各样的理论方法,但长冠肺炎的发病机制尚不完全清楚,诊断标准也不明确。这使得针对特定病因的治疗方法的发展具有挑战性。除症状外,许多患者还遭受各种心理社会负担,生活质量显著下降。为了解决这个问题,除了以症状为导向的治疗外,还应采用心身或心理治疗干预措施。在PsyLoCo项目中,根据长期COVID患者的具体需求,开发了一份心理治疗治疗手册。在四个模块中,它涉及(1)应对和痛苦管理,(2)身体不适和疼痛,(3)慢性疲劳和情感症状,(4)社会和工作生活。在一项多中心随机对照试验研究中,对该手册的可行性和有效性进行了检验。本治疗手册的内容如下。
