ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the long-term, symptomatic recovery of healthcare workers from acute COVID-19 infections up to three years after the initial COVID-19 outbreak.

METHODS:

Cross-sectional study among employees of a community-based healthcare system in Massachusetts who had a recorded positive COVID-19 test. Survey responses were collected between September 2022 and January 2023. The survey included validated questionnaires WHOQOL-BREF, EQ-5D-5 L, DASS-21, FCV-19S, K6+, and the Insomnia Severity Index. We compared the long COVID (i.e., symptoms lasting>28 days) and non-long COVID groups.

RESULTS:

Among the 280 respondents (15.2% response rate), those with long COVID (73.4%) reported significantly worse quality of life and greater levels of depression, anxiety, and stress metrics. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups' fear of COVID-19.

CONCLUSIONS:

Targeted support for healthcare workers with prolonged symptoms after COVID-19 is warranted.
