The aim of this study is to investigate the symptoms seen post-Covid period, which are fatigue and musculoskeletal system dysfunction. Another aim of the study is to proposes some suggestions to manage the fatigue symptom that occurs in the post Covid period. A total of 94 volunteers, aged 20–65 years, who had never had Covid-19 before (40 people) and who had returned from positive to negative for Covid (54 people), participated in the study. The clinical and demographic data of the individuals were recorded. Fatigue severity was measured with the Fatigue Severity Scale; musculoskeletal system symptoms were evaluated with Arthritis Research Uk Musculoskeletal Health Questionnaire (MSK-HQ). In the study, it was reported that individuals who had Covid-19 had a higher level of fatigue than those who did not (p<0.05). In terms of musculoskeletal injury, there was no difference between individuals who had Covid-19 and those who did not. To cope with the symptoms of fatigue seen in the post-Covid-19 period, it is recommended to gradually increase the physical activity levels of individuals by following the symptoms of shortness of breath and palpitation. Conservative treatment methods are also among the suggestions given to relax the muscles and reduce pain.

Kovid Sonrası Dönemde Yorgunluk ve Yorgunlukla Başa Çıkma Stratejileri: Bir Pilot Çalışma

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kovid-19 sonrası dönemde görülen yorgunluk ve kas-iskelet sistemi işlev bozukluğu belirtilerini araştırmaktır. Çalışmanın bir diğer amacı da Kovid-19 sonrası dönemde ortaya çıkan yorgunluk semptomunu yönetmek için bazı önerilerde bulunmaktır. Çalışmaya 20-65 yaşları arasında, daha önce hiç Kovid-19 geçirmemiş (40 kişi) ve pozitiften negatife dönen (54 kişi) toplam 94 gönüllü katıldı. Bireylerin klinik ve demografik verileri kaydedildi. Yorgunluk şiddeti Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği ile ölçüldü; kas-iskelet sistemi semptomları Kas-İskelet Sistemi Sağlık Sorgulaması (KİS-SS) ile değerlendirildi. Çalışmada, Kovid-19 olan bireylerin, olmayanlara göre daha yüksek yorgunluk düzeyine sahip olduğu bulundu (p<0,05). Kas-iskelet sistemi yaralanmaları açısından ise Kovid-19 olan ve olmayanlar arasında fark bulunmadı. Kovid-19 sonrası dönemde görülen yorgunluk semptomu ile başa çıkabilmek için; nefes darlığı ve çarpıntı belirtileri takip edilerek bireylerin fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin kademeli olarak artırılması önerilmektedir. Konservatif tedavi yöntemleri ise kasları gevşetmek ve ağrıyı azaltmak için verilen diğer öneriler arasında yer almaktadır.
