Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly infectious disease caused by Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has seriously
affected human life and the global economy. Initially detected in Wuhan,
China, in December 2019, the outbreak has spread rapidly around the
world, with 8.98 million confirmed cases as of February 8, 2023.
Coronavirus is a multi-system disease, common respiratory system
problems, but also accompanied by musculoskeletal, endocrine,
gastrointestinal problems,[1] similarly, symptoms
such as fever, fatigue, loss or change to your sense of smell or taste
are also associated with the coronavirus infection, COVID-19 affects all
age groups, but it can be more serious[2, 3] in
elderly patients or those with other medical conditions, and symptoms
are mostly mild in children[4] or people under the
age of 18. A meta-analysis of respiratory diseases such as Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)
showed that anxiety and depression persisted even after six months of
decline in exercise and quality of life among infected
survivors,[5] Stephen et al. point out that
COVID-19 has a similar effect on the human body after
infection.[6] Research has found that sleep has a
protective effect on immunity, people will get
sick[7] easily if they don’t get enough sleep, and
when people are infected with COVID-19, they may develop a range of
symptoms that can also lead to poor sleep quality, so it is crucial to
carry out recovery after COVID-19 infection.
The purpose of this study was to understand the infection status,
recovery situation, anxiety and sleep quality of some Chinese residents
who recovered from COVID-19 during the pandemic, to explore the factors
affecting recovery status and physical and mental health, to help people
who turned negative after infection develop scientific exercise
prescriptions, and timely sort out the possible psychological and sleep
problems of these people.
