Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the impact of long COVID on people who have multiple (two or more) pre-existing long-term conditions (such as diabetes and asthma). The main question it aims to answer is:

• How does long COVID impact the lives of adults living with multiple pre-existing long-term conditions and what are their rehabilitation needs? Participants will be asked to:
• Take photos of things they feel represent the impact of long COVID on their day-to-day lives across seven days and,
• Take part in an interview to discuss the impact of long COVID.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Experiences and perceptions of the impact of long COVID on health and well-being

  Participant photographs and 1:1 semi-structured interviews will be used to explore the experiences and perceptions of purposive samples of adults living with multiple pre-existing long-term conditions and long COVID to understand their rehabilitation needs. Photovoice and photo-elicitation will be used in combination with reflexive thematic analysis to support the interpretation process and a more participant led understanding of concepts.
