Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Post-COVID-19 Condition (PCC), also known as Long COVID, is a serious sequela of COVID-19 infection. Although for some people PCC is reasonably mild, for others it is a disabling, life-changing illness. It is crucial that supportive care for people with PCC is evidence-based. We are therefore collating this Special Issue on the well-being of people with PCC.
Our interpretation includes various aspects of well-being, encompassing a variety of outcomes; we are interested in, but not limited to, studies on quality of life, mental health and psychological outcomes, social outcomes (e.g., employment, housing etc.) and resilience.
We invite contributions from around the globe, including low- and middle-income countries, from a variety of health systems and settings. Both quantitative and qualitative studies are welcomed. We request that all submissions consider equity, given that we know that the impact of PCC is unequally borne, and adversely affects structurally marginalised communities.
