“…Many studies have indicated the manifestations of common psychological problems among COVID-19 recovered individuals even eighteen months following its onset [ 5 , 6 ]. Disorders such as anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and obsessive behaviors have been observed in COVID-19 recovered individuals [ 7 , 8 ]. The psychological problems may be secondary to the disease, the therapeutic process, or the stress during the pandemic [ 9 ].…”

Background The evidence on the psychological consequences of coronavirus 2019 mainly relates to general psychiatric problems, and a few studies have reported the incidence and predictors of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Objective To determine the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and its predictors in Iranian COVID − 19 recovered individuals at 3–6 months, 6–12 months, and 12–18 months after recovery. Method In this cross-sectional analytical study, 300 participants were randomly selected based on the inclusion criteria from three hospitals in three different regions of Tehran, Iran, and were assessed by the Clinical Demographic Information Questionnaire, the Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale 21 (DASS21), The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS version 26. Results The results showed that the mean score of OCD is 30.58 ± 15.22, with a prevalence of 71% (n = 213). Female gender (BF = 0.50, p = 0.01), sleep disturbance (BF = 0.02, p = 0.001), PTSD (BF = 0.009, p = 0.0001), depression (BF = 0.0001, p = 0.0001), and stress (BF = 0.0001, p = 0.001) are the strongest predictors of the presence of OCD in recovered COVID − 19 individuals. Conclusion OCD-like symptoms was observed in the majority of COVID − 19 recovered individuals with mild to moderate severity. In addition, the stated prevalence, severity, and significance varied according to sociodemographic and health inequalities.

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety levels of adults on their nutritional status during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kayseri province, Turkey. Design/methodology/approach A total of 898 adults consisting of 479 individuals with and 419 individuals without a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 were included in the study. The individuals’ socio-demographic characteristics, health status, nutritional habits, anthropometric measurement and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) information were obtained online. Findings The mean FCV-19S score of the participants was 17.49 ± 6.02. FCV-19S score was higher in those who reduced their consumption of protein sources compared to those who did not change and those who increased (p < 0.001). It was determined that FCV-19S scores of participants who increased their consumption of fruit/vegetables, sweets and sugar were higher than those who did not change their consumption of such items (p = 0.007). The FCV-19S scores of individuals who did not change their onion/garlic and snack consumption were lower than those who decreased or increased the consumption of these nutrients (p = 0.001, p = 0.002). Practical implications Education programs can be organized especially targeting vulnerable populations, such as women, individuals with chronic diseases and those experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. These programs can be conducted by dietitians and psychologists in collaboration, focusing on promoting healthy eating habits and coping strategies during stressful times. Originality/value It was determined that those who changed their nutrition habits during the COVID-19 pandemic had higher fear levels than those who did not. Individuals with high fear paid more attention to healthy nutrition than individuals without fear.

This study was conducted to determine the fear of coronavirus and quality of life perceptions of the spouses of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who were treated and discharged. This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted with the spouses of 111 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in a district state hospital and were treated and discharged. Data were collected with the Patient Spouse Identification Form, the COVID-19 Fear Scale, and the WHOQOL BREF 27 Quality of Life Scale. Data were evaluated by percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t test, Mann Whitney-U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson Correlation coefficient. The mean COVID-19 Fear scale score of the participants was 16.92 ± 6.20. A statistically significant difference was found between the education level, chronic disease status, hospitalization period of the spouse, and knowledge of the new type of coronavirus and the quality of life sub-dimensions mean scores of the participants. As individuals' fear levels increase, the quality of life psychological health sub-dimension score decreases.
