Towards evidence-based and inclusive models of peer support for long covid: A hermeneutic systematic review

Jordan C. R. Mullard et al.

Summary: Since the first wave of COVID-19, the number of people with post-COVID syndrome has rapidly increased globally. Questions remain as to whether there is a hidden cohort of sufferers not accessing mainstream clinics. This group is likely to be marginalized and has difficulties accessing formal clinics. The challenge lies in organizing and facilitating different forms of support, and peer support is explored as a potential option for these hidden or hardly reached populations. The study evaluates the global potential of peer support for people living with long COVID, highlighting three perspectives - biomedical, relational, and socio-political - and three models for delivering peer support: service-led, community-based, and social media.

Conceptualising the episodic nature of disability among adults living with Long COVID: a qualitative study

Kelly K. O'Brien et al.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the episodic nature of disability among adults living with Long COVID. Using online semi-structured interviews and participant visual illustrations, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Participants were recruited through collaborator community organizations in Canada, Ireland, UK, and USA. The findings showed that disability experiences among adults living with Long COVID are characterized by fluctuations in health challenges, which may be unpredictable in nature. The results can inform healthcare and rehabilitation for individuals with Long COVID.

The effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation for Post-COVID symptoms: A rapid review of the literature

Lesley J. J. Soril et al.

Summary: Limited clinical effectiveness studies have been conducted on post-COVID PR, but existing research suggests that PR can improve exercise capacity, pulmonary function, and quality of life for individuals hospitalized with acute COVID-19 infection. It may also alleviate symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. However, there is a lack of research on non-hospitalized patients or long-term outcomes beyond 3 months after initiating PR.

Scoping review of rehabilitation care models for post COVID-19 condition

Simon Decary et al.

Summary: This study systematically maps the current evidence on the characteristics of health systems, providers, and patients to design rehabilitation care for post COVID-19 condition. The evidence is mostly conceptual and expert based, with key findings including the importance of multidisciplinary teams, continuity or coordination of care, people-centred care, and shared decision-making between clinicians and patients. Rehabilitation services should be integrated into all levels of the health system, and healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and psychologists play a crucial role in delivering these services.
