摘要
The COVID- 19 patients have exceeded 6% of the world's population. How the COVID-19 infection experience affects the daily life of discharged patients has become a great concern in China and around the world. Focusing on the COVID-19 outbreak period in Wuhan, this study investigated the spatio-temporal behaviors of daily life of COVID-19 patients before infection and after discharge by means of paper questionnaires and telephone interviews. It was found that 6 months after discharge, the daily life of patients was characterized by longer sleep time throughout the day, mingled activities in daytime and more active leisure in evening leisure time. The main spatio- temporal behaviors of patients before and after the infection changed from going out for work to going out for work, from going out for work to mixed leisure, personal affairs and housework at home, and from leisure at home to mixed leisure, personal affairs and housework at home. Based on time geography theory, it was concluded that the changes of patients' spatio-temporal behaviors after discharge were caused by the capability constraints related to patients' physical and economic conditions, the coupling constraints of their life styles and required resources, and the authority constraints from policy regulations and public opinions. Further exploration of pathogenesis, good rehabilitation plan, and improvement of social recognition are essential to the physical and mental recovery of patients. These findings can provide scientific evidence for life quality evaluation of patients under major public health emergencies and public health policy formulation, and provide reference for enriching behavioral geography in spatio- temporal behavior research for special events, special groups and special periods. © 2023 Science Press.
