This study aims to delve into the post-COVID impact on physical and psychological health among recovered individuals in Jodhpur, India, shedding light on the association with demographic variables. Methodology: Employing a quantitative cross-sectional design, this research assessed the post-COVID impact on physical and psychological health among 190 recovered COVID-19 patients in Jodhpur. Structured surveys were utilized to collect data, allowing for the exploration of demographic characteristics, physical symptoms, and mental health status. Result: The study, comprising 190 COVID-19 recovered individuals, found varying impacts on physical and psychological health, with notable associations with age and living area. While 64.7% reported no physical impact, 75.8% reported no psychological impact. Significant correlations existed between physical and psychological health (r = 0.318, p < 0.05). Demographic factors such as age and living area were associated with these impacts, underlining the nuanced post-COVID-19 outcomes. Conclusion: This study underscores the enduring impact of COVID-19 on physical and psychological health in recovered individuals, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions, particularly for those experiencing mild issues. Significant associations with demographic factors like age and residential area highlight the importance of tailored approaches, while the correlation between physical and psychological health underscores the necessity of comprehensive post-COVID care strategies.
