Abstract		Izhodišča: Razglasitev epidemije virusa SARS-CoV-2 v Sloveniji je znatno posegla v socialne razmere posameznika. V prispevku ugotavljamo posledice bolezni in ukrepov za zajezitev epidemije v Sloveniji na socialne razmere prebolelih po COVID-19, ki so bili vključeni v rehabilitacijo v URI - Soča. Metode: V raziskavo so bile vključene osebe, ki so bile sprejete na rehabilitacijo URI - Soča po hujšem poteku COVID-19 v obdobju od novembra 2020 do začetka aprila 2021. Za obravnavane spremenljivke smo izračunali opisne statistike in pripravili grafične prikaze. Rezultati: V raziskavo smo vključili 43 oseb, 12 žensk in 31 moških, s povprečno starostjo 61 let (razpon 37- 81 let). Od vseh vključenih je bilo 22 oseb upokojenih, ostalih 21 pa delovno aktivnih. Med 21 delovno aktivnimi je bilo 18 takih, za katere smo predvideli oteženo vračanje na delo. Brezposelnih je bilo šest oseb, od tega ena brezposelna zaradi posledic epidemije. Od 14 zaposlenih za nedoločen čas je bila ena oseba na čakanju zaradi posledic epidemije. Ena oseba, sicer zaposlena za določen čas, je bila na čakanju iz drugih razlogov. Posledice epidemije na prihodek gospodinjstva je zaznalo 20 oseb, od tega je bil pri dveh ta vpliv velik, pri ostalih pa blag. Pri devetih osebah se je zaradi okužbe neformalna socialna mreža zmanjšala. Ob odpustu se je pri vseh osebah razen eni v podporo in pomoč v domačem okolju vključila neformalna socialna mreža. V primeru petih oseb je bila potrebna podpora in pomoč formalne mreže. Zaključek: Posledice bolezni in ukrepov za zajezitev epidemije v Sloveniji so vplivale na socialne razmere prebolelih po COVID-19, ki so bili vključeni v rehabilitacijo v URI - Soča. Prepoznava virov (po)moči v posameznikovem življenju, zgodnja vključitev neformalne socialne mreže v proces rehabilitacije, aktivacija socialnih virov iz okolja in postavitev konkretnih ciljev pri delovno aktivnem prebivalstvu so se izkazali za ključene elemente pri preprečevanju slabšanja socialnih in ekonomskih razmer prebolelih po COVID-19.Background: The declaration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus epidemic in Slovenia had a significant impact on the social context of individuals. In this paper, we assess the consequences of the disease and the measures taken to contain the epidemic in Slovenia on the social conditions of those COVID-19 survivors who were admitted to rehabilitation at the University Rehabilitation Institute in Ljubljana. Methods: The study included individuals who were admitted to our Institute after a severe course of COVID-19 in the period from November 2020 to the beginning of April 2021. Descriptive statistics were calculated and graphical presentations were made for the variables considered. Results: The study included 43 individuals, 12 women and 31 men, with a mean age of 61 years (range 37-81 years). Among them, 22 were retired and the remaining 21 were employed. Among the 21 employed, there were 18 for whom return to work was difficult. Six were unemployed, one of them due to the impact of the epidemic. Of the 14 permanent employees, one person was on hold due to the impact of the epidemic. One person, who was otherwise employed on a temporary basis, was on hold for other reasons. The impact of the epidemic on household income was felt by 20 people, including two people severely and one person slightly. For nine individuals, the informal social network decreased due to the infection. After discharge, in all cases but one, an informal social network for support and assistance in the home environment became involved. For five individuals, a formal support and assistance network had to be activated. Conclusion: The consequences of the disease and the measures taken to contain the epidemic in Slovenia affected the social situation of the COVID-19 survivors admitted to rehabilitation at our Institute. Identification of strengths and sources of help in an individual's life, early involvement of an informal social network in the rehabilitation process, activation of social resources from the environment and setting specific goals for the working population proved to be key elements in preventing deterioration of social and economic conditions of COVID-19 survivors.
