Effectiveness of Supportive Psychotherapy Through Internet-Based Teleconsultation on Psychological and Somatic Symptoms, Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio, and Heart Rate Variability in Post Covid-19 Syndrome Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of supportive psychotherapy in post covid-19 syndrome patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on psychological and somatic symptoms in post covid-19 syndrome patients? 2. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in post covid-19 syndrome patients? 3. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on heart rate variability in post covid-19 syndrome patients?

Participants will be given supportive psychotherapy in the form of an online group for 3 times a week with a duration of psychotherapy ranging from 1 - 2 hours per session.

Researchers will compare the supportive psychotherapy group to education group as control. The control group will be given education about Post Covid-19 syndrome in the form of an online group for 3 times a week with a duration of around 1 - 2 hours per session.

Treatment and study plan

supportive psychotherapy

Behavioral

Supportive psychotherapy is a treatment that uses direct measures to ameliorate symptoms and to maintain, restore or improve self-esteem, ego function, and adaptive skills

Primary outcomes

Pyschological and somatic symptoms

Time frame: Change from baseline SCL-90 questionnaire at 1 week

Measured with SCL-90 questionnaire. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 360. Higher scores mean worse outcome
Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)

Time frame: Change from baseline NLR at 1 week

Measured by calculating the value of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes based on blood sampling
Heart Rate Variability

Time frame: Change from baseline SDNN at 1 week

Measured by assessing SDNN by using Photoplethysmograph SA-3000P
