ABSTRACT

Objective: To recognize symptoms, sociodemographic characteristics and perception of family functioning in patients with long COVID in a series of Mexican patients.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study in which two surveys were conducted in patients with long COVID. The first evaluated the symptoms and sociodemographic characteristics and the second was the perception of family functioning test to evaluate the family’s adaptive responses to the crisis posed by the disease.
Results: Twenty-two children (12.47 ± 4.44 years of age) and 479 adults (52.5 ± 7.16 years of age) were included. The most frequent symptom was fatigue/asthenia in about 70% of patients in both groups. Chest tightness, dyspnea, back pain, and tingling in the legs and arms were more common in children and adolescents; while general malaise, headache and memory disorders were more frequent in adults. Both symptoms and family functioning had a marked psychosomatic component.
Conclusions: Symptoms related to mental health were more frequent in adults than in children and adolescents with long COVID. These are nourished by a psychosomatic environment that can facilitate adaptation, but could also condition the perpetuity of these symptoms, which is why it is desirable to consider the possibility of incorporating these families into psychotherapy processes.
