Abstract

state, affecting the patient’s quality of life who suffers from it. Objective: Calculate the prevalence pos-COVID-19 fatigue presented in patients over 18 years old assigned to the UMF N.° 1 IMSS, in Aguascalientes. Methods: The research was observational, descriptive, transversal, simple. The 10-item Fatigue Impact Scale was applied to 384 patients over 18 years of age assigned to UMF N.° 1 confirmed to have had COVID-19 for 6-12 months. These data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21. Results: The sample mainly consisted of women (62%), with an average age of 40.5 years, and a marked trend towards higher education, with 63% having at least a bachelor’s degree. Challenges were identified in various areas with 46.7% facing difficulties in meeting external demands and 52.6% experiencing more daily stress. In addition, 35.4% feel unable to provide adequate emotional support to their family. In cognitive aspects, 56.5% show a lack of mental clarity and 37.0% difficulties in maintaining attention. Regarding physical fatigue, 33.6% have moderated the pace of their activities, and 43.7% show less motivation for physical efforts after recovering from the disease. Conclusions: The prevalence of pos-COVID-19 fatigue was present in 10% of participants, affecting different dimensions of this scale, indicating that pos-COVID fatigue has a significant impact on various aspects of the lives of individuals recovered from COVID-19.
