Objective:
To analyze the association between sociodemographic variables, lifestyle and mental health habits, and long Covid in nursing professionals.
Method:
Quantitative, observational, cross-sectional and analytical study, with 109 nursing professionals who had Covid-19 between 2020 and 2022. Data collection was carried out using an online form, with the following variables of interest: resilience, subjective well-being, age, sex, professional category, vaccination, physical activity, presence of symptoms resulting from Covid-19 infection after the acute phase of the disease and long Covid. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using Poisson regression with robust variance and a significance level of 5%.
Results:
Male sex, high resilience, and high positive affect decrease the prevalence of long Covid by 71% (RP = 0.29), 40% (RP = 0.60) and 43% (RP = 0.57), respectively, while being in the nursing technician category increases its prevalence by 74% (RP = 1.74).
Conclusion:
The results emphasize the importance and support the development of promotion, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation actions for individuals with long Covid. To achieve this, multidisciplinary care, centered on the person and directed at the context and work environment is required.
