Abstract
in English, Chinese, Chinese

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. It is highly contagious and can cause death in severe cases. As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), as of 6:36 pm Central European Summer Time (CEST), 12 August 2022, there had been 585 950 285 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6 425 422 deaths (WHO, 2022).

本研究旨在报道感染新冠医务人员出院后的健康状况。研究对象来自“中国感染新冠肺炎医务人员康复关怀行动”，在随访中医务人员完成心理健康问卷、健康相关生活质量问卷、肺功能检查和6分钟步行试验。在出院后139.4（127.3, 150.5）天，23%的重症新冠肺炎医务人员被诊断患有创伤后应激综合征。将不同性别、有无并发症重症新冠肺炎医务人员出院后的恢复情况进行比较发现，应采取主动康复干预措施帮助重症新冠肺炎医务人员加快心理和生理康复，尤其应重点关注男性和有合并症患者。.
