- Abstract
However, COVID-19 survivors with COVID-19-related trauma symptoms show an improvement in both IES-R and SOC scores with time after infection. Although some COVID-19 survivors exhibit lower levels of SOC and higher post-traumatic distress initially, these dimensions normalize over time: COVID-19 survivors seem to adjust after cessation of the disease, which hints toward a long-term recovery from mental health burden. In August 2020, Schäfer et al. [[1]] published a clinical note in I Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics i regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and the effects of the sense of coherence (SOC).
