The purpose of the present study is to compare individuals with and without vertigo who have experienced COVID-19 in terms of their psychological, emotional, sleep quality, and concerns about the possibility of falls. A total of 30 individuals were included in the study, including the case group with 15 subjects who were diagnosed with vertigo with past COVID-19, and the control group with 15 subjects who had past COVID-19 and were not diagnosed with vertigo. The Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were applied face-to-face to the individuals who were included in the research. Among the participants’, who were included in the study; statistically significant differences in anxiety, depression, falls, and PUKI scores have been detected between the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). Of those in the control group; anxiety, depression, falls and PUKI scale scores have been found to be lower than the experimental group. Patients with vertigo who apply to the clinic must be evaluated in this respect, and clinicians must be careful in terms of the patients to receive psychological support.
