Effectiveness of Supportive Psychotherapy Through Internet-Based Teleconsultation on Psychological and Somatic Symptoms, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio, and Heart Rate Variability in Post Covid-19 Syndrome Patients
- Conditions
- Post-COVID-19 Syndrome
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Supportive Psychotherapy
- Registration Number
- NCT05648123
- Lead Sponsor
- Indonesia University
- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of supportive psychotherapy in post covid-19 syndrome patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on psychological and somatic symptoms in post covid-19 syndrome patients?
2. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in post covid-19 syndrome patients?
3. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on heart rate variability in post covid-19 syndrome patients?
Participants will be given supportive psychotherapy in the form of an online group for 3 times a week with a duration of psychotherapy ranging from 1 - 2 hours per session.
Researchers will compare the supportive psychotherapy group to education group as control. The control group will be given education about Post Covid-19 syndrome in the form of an online group for 3 times a week with a duration of around 1 - 2 hours per session.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pyschological and somatic symptoms Change from baseline SCL-90 questionnaire at 1 week Measured with SCL-90 questionnaire. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 360. Higher scores mean worse outcome
Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) Change from baseline NLR at 1 week Measured by calculating the value of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes based on blood sampling
Heart Rate Variability Change from baseline SDNN at 1 week Measured by assessing SDNN by using Photoplethysmograph SA-3000P
