Psychological Assessment of adult COVID-19 patients

Not yet recruiting

Brief Summary: **Rationale of the study:**

Psychological Disturbances among Survivors at the individual level, many people can experience a crisis, defined as a situation caused by an external life event that exceeds a personâ€™s emotional response capacity. Essentially, that personâ€™s coping skills may be insufficient, and a psychological imbalance or failure to adapt occurs. Certain feelings and reactions are common in very emotionally significant situations, such suffering from a serious disease like COVID-19. Moreover, the memory of what happened will be part of the patientâ€™ lives and may never be erased from their memories. However, while some psychological manifestations are the understandable and transitory response to living through traumatic experiences, they can also be indicators that the person is developing a pathological condition. The most common immediate psychological disturbances among survivors are depression and acute, transitory stress reactions and PTSD like symptoms (Peters, C.J, 2002) The main purpose of this study is to measure the prevalence and severity of this psychological distress and therefore provide a concrete basis for tailoring and implementing relevant mental health intervention policies to cope with this challenge efficiently and effectively.
