Abstract

Objective

Evaluation of the rate and symptoms of Post-COVID-19 condition in employees in childcare.

Methods

A structured questionnaire collected data from two distinct collectives: Collective 1 (C1) consisted of a prospective cohort of 44 employees after COVID-19 disease, whereas Collective 2 (C2) included 222 employees who were retrospectively interviewed. The questionnaire mainly focused on symptoms and wellbeing during or after COVID-19.

Results

The main symptoms of Post-COVID-19 condition were impairment of focus, fatigue/exhaustion, reduced stamina, headache and dyspnoea. 30 % of the employees in C1 and 7.6 % of C2 suffered from a clinically relevant Post-COVID-19 condition with impairment of the general wellbeing. According to the WHO definition, a Post-COVID-19 condition was found in 56.6 % (C1) and 25.5 % (C2).

Conclusions

A Post-COVID-19 condition was a common finding in both our collectives but did not automatically cause an impairment of general wellbeing.

学龄前托幼机构工作人员新冠肺炎后发病频次及其临床相关性

目的了解托儿人员新型冠状病毒感染后症状及发生率。方法采用结构化问卷收集来自两个不同群体的数据：集体1 （C1）包括44名COVID-19疾病后的员工，而集体2 （C2）包括222名回顾性访谈的员工。问卷主要关注COVID-19期间或之后的症状和健康状况。结果新冠肺炎后患者的主要症状为注意力障碍、疲劳/乏力、耐力下降、头痛和呼吸困难。C1区30%的员工和C2区7.6%的员工患有临床相关的后冠状病毒病，总体健康受损。根据世卫组织的定义，56.6% （C1型）和25.5% （C2型）的患者存在后冠状病毒感染。结论新冠肺炎后症状在我们两个集体中都很常见，但不会自动导致总体幸福感受损。
