| dc.description.abstract | Background: The high recovery rate for patients who are high after being infected with COVID-19 still leaves problems with the post-COVID-19 syndrome which is a new problem. Persistent shortness of breath and fatigue are symptoms that often appear in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome, which indicates involvement of the pulmonary and respiratory organ systems. Of course ,this requires a more objective examination in determining the state of lung function.
Methods: This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study, in which data were collected through interviews using questionnaires and pulmonary function examination. Research participants are COVID-19 survivors who work at Medan Adventist Hospital
Result: Of the 89 samples that met the inclusion criteria, 13 people (14.6%) had post-COVID-19 syndrome symptoms, with the most complaints being fatigue, as many as 10 people (11.2%). 21 samples with restrictive interference. 16 people who have a restrictive disorder with a mild degree of COVID-19. 5 people who experience restrictive disorders with moderate-severe degrees of COVID-19.
Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between lung function disorders and the severity of COVID-19 in this study (p = 0.333). | en_US |
