Resumen
Introducción: La COVID -19 es una enfermedad breve y leve, pero algunas personas experimentaron síntomas que incluyeron fatiga duradera, dolor persistente y falta de aliento durante meses. Muchas personas se recuperaron del SARS y desarrollaron el síndrome de fatiga crónica, un trastorno complejo caracterizado por fatiga extrema que empeoraba con la actividad física o mental pero no mejoraba con el descanso. Lo mismo pudo darse entre personas que tuvieron covid-19. Unas de las secuelas que más afecto a las personas que padecieron de coronavirus y por el cual no pudieron volver al ritmo de vida que antes tenían es el síndrome de fatiga crónica este refleja una situación de fatigabilidad persistente e inexplicable a pequeños esfuerzos tanto físico como mentales que resultaron claramente invalidante para el paciente La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar los factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de fatiga crónica en pacientes post covid-19 en la región caribe 2020-2021. Materiales y método: Estudio descriptivo de corte trasversal. Para ello, se aplicó un cuestionario de síntomas DePaul y una escala de impacto de fatiga a una muestra de 68 personas que habían padecido covid-19 y residían en la región caribe colombiana. Los resultados mostraron que la mayoría de los participantes eran de sexo masculino y femenino, con una edad promedio de 30 años, pertenecientes a los estratos socioeconómicos 2 y 3, y residentes en el departamento del Atlántico. Asimismo, se encontró que los participantes presentaban un nivel de fatiga moderado, con una mayor afectación en los dominios físico, cognitivo y psicosocial. Los síntomas más frecuentes y severos fueron el sueño no reparador, el dolor, la dificultad para concentrarse y la pérdida de memoria. Conclusiones: Estos hallazgos sugieren que la infección por covid-19 puede tener consecuencias a largo plazo en la salud y la calidad de vida de las personas, y que se requiere una atención integral e interdisciplinaria para prevenir y tratar el síndrome de fatiga crónica. Se recomienda realizar estudios con muestras más amplias y representativas, así como con diseños longitudinales que permitan evaluar la evolución y los factores asociados a la fatiga crónica en pacientes post covid-19.
Introduction: COVID -19 is a short, mild illness, but some people experienced symptoms including long-lasting fatigue, persistent pain, and shortness of breath for months. Many people recovered from SARS and developed chronic fatigue syndrome, a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that worsened with physical or mental activity but did not improve with rest. The same thing could have happened among people who had covid-19. One of the consequences that most affected people who suffered from coronavirus and for which they could not return to the pace of life they had before is chronic fatigue syndrome, which reflects a situation of persistent fatigue and inexplicable fatigue due to small physical and mental efforts. which were clearly disabling for the patient. The objective of this investigation was to determine the risk factors for the development of chronic fatigue in post-covid-19 patients in the Caribbean region 2020-2021. Materials and method: Descriptive cross-sectional study. To do this, a DePaul symptom questionnaire and a fatigue impact scale were applied to a sample of 68 people who had suffered from Covid-19 and resided in the Colombian Caribbean region. The results showed that many participants were male and female, with an average age of 30 years, belonging to socioeconomic strata 2 and 3, and residents in the department of Atlántico. Likewise, it was found that the participants had a moderate level of fatigue, with a greater impact on the physical, cognitive and psychosocial domains. The most common and severe symptoms were non-restorative sleep, pain, difficulty concentrating, and memory loss. Conclusions: These findings suggest that Covid-19 infection can have long-term consequences on people's health and quality of life, and that comprehensive and interdisciplinary care is required to prevent and treat chronic fatigue syndrome. It is recommended to carry out studies with larger and more representative samples, as well as with longitudinal designs that allow evaluating the evolution and factors associated with chronic fatigue in post-covid-19 patients.
