The Affects of the COVID-19 Pandemic…
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the management of chronic conditions faced significant challenges. Many individuals delayed or postponed their regular medical check-ups and treatments, leading to worsened health outcomes. According to the CDC, there was a notable decrease in the utilization of healthcare services for chronic condition management, which exacerbated existing conditions and led to the emergence of new comorbidities. This decline in care was attributed to the restrictions and fear of contracting the virus, causing disruptions in regular monitoring and treatment (CDC) (BioMed Central).
Additionally, research indicated that people with chronic conditions, such as COPD, experienced considerable disruptions in their care, increasing their anxiety and impacting their overall well-being. Many patients found it difficult to access healthcare facilities, obtain necessary medications, and manage their conditions effectively during lockdowns (BMJ Open) (BMJ Open Respiratory Research).
The shift to telemedicine provided some relief, enabling remote consultations and continuous care for chronic conditions. However, disparities in access to technology and the internet posed challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations (CDC) (BMJ).
Overall, the pandemic highlighted the importance of resilient healthcare systems and the need for innovative solutions to ensure continuous and equitable care for individuals with chronic conditions.
