Abstract

Background: In the United States (U.S.), it is estimated that 17.6 % of adults have experienced Long COVID, a condition where symptoms newly develop and linger after initial COVID-19 infection. Long COVID is associated with significantly reduced quality of life (QoL), and patient-provider relationships have been shown to influence QoL for patients in general.

Objective: The objective for this study was to better understand the role of patient-provider relationships in shaping QoL among U.S. adults with Long COVID.

Methods: This study carried out an online survey among U.S. adult with Long COVID (N = 792).

Results: Respondents with at least a bachelor's degree reported higher QoL, and older respondents were more likely to report lower QoL; trust in providers was a significant predictor of higher QoL, while dismissal of Long COVID symptoms was associated with lower QoL (all p < .05).

Conclusions: Healthcare providers should be aware of the importance of trust in the relationship with their Long COVID patients and the impact this may have on patients' QoL. Researchers and policy makers should include an increasing focus on training for providers who treat patients with Long COVID in order to strengthen patient-provider relationships.

患者与医疗服务提供者的关系和长期 COVID：关于对生活质量影响的横断面调查。

背景：在美国，据估计有 17.6% 的成年人经历过长 COVID，这是一种在最初感染 COVID-19 后出现新症状并持续存在的病症。长COVID与生活质量（QoL）显著下降有关，而患者与医疗服务提供者之间的关系已被证明会影响一般患者的QoL：本研究的目的是更好地了解患者与医疗服务提供者之间的关系对美国成人长 COVID 患者生活质量的影响：本研究对患有 Long COVID 的美国成年人（N = 792）进行了在线调查：结果：至少拥有学士学位的受访者报告的 QoL 较高，而年龄较大的受访者报告的 QoL 较低的可能性较大；对医疗服务提供者的信任是 QoL 较高的重要预测因素，而对 Long COVID 症状的忽视与 QoL 较低有关（所有 p 均为结论：医疗服务提供者应意识到信任在与长COVID患者关系中的重要性，以及这可能对患者QoL产生的影响。研究人员和政策制定者应更加重视对治疗长COVID患者的医疗服务提供者进行培训，以加强患者与医疗服务提供者之间的关系。
