ABSTRACT
The emerging COVID-19 disease affects not only the physical health but also the emotional and psychological health of patients. This study aimed to explain the experiences of 22 recovered COVID-19 patients in Baqiyatallah hospital, Tehran, Iran. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded and transcribed and then analyzed using the conventional content analysis method. This resulted in emergence of 3 themes "emotional-sensational paradox", "spiritual growth", and "experienced mental-psychological effects", with 11 main categories and 33 subcategories. The results of the study can be used to develop instructions and guidelines for the families of patients as well as healthcare teams to provide effective measures and interventions to minimize the suffering of patients and the damage to mental health.
