Relationship Between Anxiety and Severity of Symptoms with Post Traumatic Growth in COVID-۱۹ Recovered Patients

Traumatic events, such as the COVID-۱۹ pandemic, are not merely perceived as threats or losses; they also present opportunities for growth and positive transformation. This study was conducted on ۲۰۱ COVID-۱۹ survivors in Malayer, Iran from ۲۰۱۹ to ۲۰۲۲, with participants having been in recovery for at least six months. Data were collected using questionnaires related to demographic information, COVID-۱۹ symptom severity, anxiety, social support, and post-traumatic growth, available on the Porsline platform. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version ۲۵ software. The mean post-traumatic growth (PTG) score was ۶۰.۱۲, surpassing the median value of the scale. COVID-۱۹ symptom severity and anxiety were positively correlated with PTG (P<۰.۰۰۱). Addressing the factors influencing PTG and efforts to mitigate their effects can facilitate constructive progress in managing PTG among COVID-۱۹ survivors.
