Abstract

Background: Performance of activities of daily living (ADL) tasks is essential for most people's everyday lives. However, there is limited information regarding which ADL tasks and how their performances are typically impacted among persons with Long COVID.

Aim: To explore the types of ADL tasks typically affected and how the quality of ADL task performance is impacted in persons with long COVID and to explore relationships between ADL ability and health-related, social, or personal factors.

Material and methods: This cross-sectional study involved individuals participating in a municipality-based rehabilitation program for persons with Long COVID. Data on ADL ability and health-related, social, and personal factors were gathered.

Results: The sample included n = 30 individuals with Long COVID. The participants reported decreased quality of ADL task performance related to both Personal ADL and Instrumental ADL tasks. A moderate relationship was identified between participants' ADL-I ability measures and ratings of fatigue. None of the remaining health-related, social and personal variables were related to ADL ability.

Conclusions: Individuals diagnosed with Long COVID reported decreased quality of performance in both PADL and IADL tasks, with increased time and effort being the primary issues. The most prevalent symptom, fatigue, was moderately related to participants' ADL ability.

长期COVID后日常生活活动：一项探索性横断面研究

背景：日常生活活动（ADL）任务的执行对大多数人的日常生活至关重要。然而，关于哪些ADL任务以及长COVID患者的表现通常如何受到影响的信息有限。目的：探讨长期COVID患者典型影响的ADL任务类型及其对ADL任务绩效质量的影响，并探讨ADL能力与健康相关、社会或个人因素之间的关系。材料和方法：本横断面研究涉及参加基于市政的长COVID患者康复计划的个人。收集ADL能力与健康相关、社会和个人因素的数据。结果：样本包括n = 30例Long COVID患者。参与者报告了与个人ADL和工具性ADL任务相关的ADL任务表现质量下降。在参与者的ADL-I能力测量和疲劳评分之间确定了中等关系。其余健康相关、社会和个人变量均与ADL能力无关。结论：被诊断为长COVID的个体报告在PADL和IADL任务中的表现质量下降，时间和精力的增加是主要问题。最普遍的症状，疲劳，与参与者的ADL能力有中等相关性。
