Keywords:
Long COVID, Postpartum mothers, PrevalenceAbstract
This descriptive correlation research aimed to study the prevalence and factors associated with post-acute COVID syndrome (long COVID) in maternal-infected COVID-19 who came into labor at Mae Ai Hospital Chiang Mai Province during October 2021-September 2022. The sample group of 60 cases was used by using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a long-term signs and symptoms questionnaire of COVID-19 infection by the Department of Medical Services. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and binary logistic regression.
The research results found that the prevalence of long COVID in maternal infected COVID-19 was 42.0%, most of the symptoms were found in the respiratory system and general health quality of life decreased to 61.7% and general symptoms (fatigue, fever, shivering) 48.3%. Factors associated with long COVID after more than 4 weeks of recovery include the severity of infected COVID-19 with statistical significance (P < .01)
