Tele-Rehabilitative Exercise Training Program in Nurses With Long COVID
Effectiveness of a 8-week Tele-Rehabilitative Exercise Training Program on Fatigue, Symptom Severity, and Quality of Life in Nurses With Long COVID: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Oct 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Long COVID can cause a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness, resulting in fatigue and negative impacts on individuals' quality of life (QoL), particularly in nurses who play a crucial role in public health. Combining with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and suffering from a spectrum of long-COVID symptoms might substantially exaggertate fatigue, perceived stress, and reduce willingness to work for hospital nurses. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitative exercise on fatigue, perceived stress, symptom severity of long COVID, and QoL in this population.
