Objective To explore the relevant factors influencing fatigue in patients during the recovery period of COVID-19 infection(lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome).Methods Patients who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January to March 2024 for COVID-19 recovery period(lung-spleen qi defi-ciency syndrome)outpatient care were selected as the study subjects.Trained investigators distributed and collected elec-tronic questionnaires in the outpatient area,and SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data.Results A total of 462 valid samples were obtained in this study,including 366 cases of fatigue(79.2%)and 96 cases without fa-tigue(20.8%).The results of the univariate analysis showed that fatigue during the recovery period of COVID-19 infec-tion(lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome)was statistically significant with differences in education level,sleep duration,number of stressful days per week,appetite changes,bowel movements,and number of COVID-19 infections(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that sleep duration,number of stressful days per week,appetite changes,bowel movements,and number of COVID-19 infections were independent influencing factors affecting fatigue during the recovery period of COVID-19 infection(lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome,P<0.05).Conclusion Due to factors such as sleep duration,number of stressful days per week,appetite changes,bowel movements,and number of COVID-19 infec-tions,the fatigue rate during the recovery period of COVID-19 infection(lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome)is relative-ly high.Targeted interventions based on different influencing factors may improve the fatigue status of patients during the recovery period of COVID-19 infection(lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome)to a certain extent.
