Patients' demographic questionnaires and post-traumatic stress disorder (PCL) were used to collect data. Results: 59.3% of the patients were female and 57.8% married. 46.3% had university education. 35.9% of them were housewives and 94.8% of the patients had insurance. Fever (69.3%), hypoxia (69.3%), cough (68.5%) and shortness of breath (64.4%) were the most common symptoms of Covid-19 disease. The mean of post-traumatic stress disorder was 40.25 ± 5.98 (moderate) and fever, cough, diabetes, death of relatives and tracheostomy were the most important factors associated with post-traumatic stress disorder in patients recovering from Covid-19 disease. Conclusion: The rate of post-traumatic stress disorder in patients recovering from Covid-19 disease was moderate, which requires nurses to follow up on these patients even after discharge from hospital and recovery.
