Abstract: Post-COVID-19 condition, or Long COVID, refers to persistent or newly emerging symptoms following infection with SARS-CoV-2, which may affect multiple organ systems. These symptoms may improve, worsen, or recur over time. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of Long COVID. Data were collected using a questionnaire from 325 individuals with a history of COVID-19 infection. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The prevalence of Long COVID was 80%. Female participants were 2.19 times more likely to experience Long COVID than males (Adjusted OR = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.24–3.86; p = 0.007), and individuals with underlying conditions were 3.14 times more likely to develop Long COVID than those without comorbidities (Adjusted OR = 3.14; 95% CI: 1.62–6.09; p = 0.001). The most commonly reported symptoms were irritable, memory, and concentration loss, post-exertional malaise, palpitation, chest pain or pressure, dry cough, loss of appetite, dyspnea, headache, tinnitus or hearing loss, and hair loss—all of which negatively impacted work performance and daily life activities. Preventive measures against COVID-19 infection remain essential, even for those with mild symptoms. Public education on Long COVID is crucial, particularly for high-risk groups such as women and individuals with pre-existing health conditions, who require close monitoring, surveillance, and appropriate health guidance.
