Male sex, high resilience, and positive affect significantly reduce the risk of developing long Covid in nursing professionals. Conversely, being a nursing technician increases this risk.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Long Covid presents a significant challenge, particularly among healthcare professionals.
- Understanding risk factors for long Covid is crucial for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, mental health, and long Covid in nursing professionals.
- To identify protective and risk factors for long Covid in this population.
Main Methods:
- A quantitative, observational, cross-sectional study involving 109 nursing professionals who had Covid-19.
- Data collected via online survey on resilience, well-being, demographics, lifestyle, and long Covid symptoms.
- Poisson regression with robust variance used for inferential analysis.
Main Results:
- Male sex, high resilience, and high positive affect were associated with a decreased prevalence of long Covid (71%, 40%, and 43% reduction, respectively).
- Being a nursing technician was associated with an increased prevalence of long Covid (74% increase).
Conclusions:
- Findings highlight the protective role of resilience and positive affect against long Covid.
- Multidisciplinary care tailored to the work environment is essential for managing long Covid in nursing professionals.
