Background: Covid-19 has become one of the most important challenges to health care systems, causing various complications and death in severe cases. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the complications of the Covid-19 disease in patients admitted to 16-hour centers in Sabzevar, Iran.Materials and Methods: The current research is descriptive-analytical, which investigated 220 patients selected by random sampling from among those admitted to the 16-hour centers for Covid-19 in 2022. After recording the patients’ information, verbal consent was obtained from them to join the study. Four weeks after the PCR test, they were asked some questions over the phone by a trained researcher and the questionnaires were instantly completed.Results: The results of the study showed that the remaining symptoms after recovery in the participants are physical fatigue (27.3%), weakness (14.1%), cough (23.6%), diarrhea (2.7%), mental fatigue (9.1%), anxiety (5%) and others. There was a statistically significant relationship between gender and residual complications from the Covid-19 disease. But there was no significant relationship between the recovery rate and anxiety symptoms such as restlessness and heart palpitation. Also, 40.5% of the patients had full recovery, 51.8% had moderate recovery and 0.9% had poor recovery.Conclusion: Patients with Covid-19 disease may recover from the disease but will face clinical manifestations and psychological disorders. Remote follow-up based on a telephone call program can be very useful in the management of recovered patients by establishing simple communication between patients and therapists.

The results were analyzed using SPSS version 24 and chi-square, and Pearson’s correlation test.
Results: The mean of quality of care in view of patients and nurses were respectively, psychosocial aspect 61.66 ± 1.46, 80.28 ± 1.66, in physical aspect 57.93 ± 1.43 and 76.15 ± 1.52 and in communitive aspect 57.93 ± 1.43 and 39.19 ± 0.83. There was a significant statistical difference between patients and nurses views in three aspects (P=0.001).Also, there was no significant relationship between the demographic characteristics of the nurses and patients (age, sex, clinical experience, place of residence, etc.) with quality of care (P> 0.005)..

Standard Responsiveness Questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests and ANOVA by SPSS 16 at a significance level of 0.05.Results Access to the social support during hospitalization achieved the highest score while patient autonomy received the least score. There was a significant relationship between Access to the social support and patient’ gender (P≤0.05). Results showed significant differences between wards in this hospital and Access to the social support and Quality of basic amenities (P≤0.05). From patient view point the total score for this hospital was (2.43±0.60) that showed the moderate level of responsiveness. Conclusion More than ever trying to institutionalize the principle of responsiveness culture in this kind of training educational hospital should be regarded.
