Individuals with comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease have a higher risk of contracting COVID\u201019 and approximately 20% of those diagnosed with COVID\u201019 are admitted to hospital. Following discharge from hospital, 40% of patients report a worsened quality of life and up to 87% of those discharged from hospital have experienced \u2018long COVID\u2019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>A qualitative design was used to understand patient experience of hospitalisation following a diagnosis of COVID\u201019, and their experiences following discharge from hospital.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ten patients with a previous diagnosis of COVID\u201019 took part in semi\u2010structured interviews regarding their experiences of hospitalisation and the impact on quality of life post\u2010discharge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results identified three key themes from the interviews: communication and the inpatient experience, symptoms following discharge and regaining independence. Patients discussed their experience of hospitalisation and how this continued to impact their emotional well\u2010being post\u2010discharge. However, patients appeared to push themselves physically to improve their health, despite continued COVID\u201019 symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients hospitalised following a diagnosis of COVID\u201019 experienced psychological distress during their hospital stay, as well as 3\u2010months post\u2010discharge. We suggest the use of psychosocial interventions to support patients post\u2010discharge.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of this study provide a greater understanding of the patient experience during their hospital stay, which can support nursing staff practice.
