Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
The effects of post-COVID-19 syndrome on patients' life are significant. As there is no prior study available, we investigated the impact of resilience and social support on anxiety, depression, and quality of life among patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome. We conducted a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample. The measures included demographic and clinical characteristics of patients, the Brief Resilience Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, the Patient Health Questionnaire-4, and the EuroQol-5D-3L. Multivariable analysis identified that resilience and social support reduced anxiety and depression among our patients. Also, we found a significant positive relationship between resilience and social support, and quality of life. In conclusion, our findings suggest that resilience and social support can be protective by reducing anxiety and depression, and improving quality of life among patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome. Policy makers should develop and implement healthcare management programs to provide psychological support to these patients.
