Abstract

Examining the psychopathology of patients who have contracted coronavirus disease 2019 remains important. The current study aims to investigate the relationship between depression, cognitive and executive functions, and their impact on quality of life. First, a comprehensive bibliographic review of relevant scientific articles and studies was carried out. Data were then collected using weighted and appropriate questionnaires. Analysis of variance and multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between the independent variables (depression, cognitive and executive functions, and demographic factors) and the dependent variable (quality of life), to interpret and analyze the resulting associations. In contrast to depression, cognitive and executive functions did not appear to significantly influence patients’ quality of life and well-being. Further scientific research is necessary to explore these factors and their potential effects more thoroughly.
