Using a comparative cross-sectional design, attention scores from the ACE-III questionnaire were analyzed in post COVID-positive and COVID-negative patients. Methodology involved collecting and analyzing data from patient interviews. Results suggest a practical difference in attention between the two groups. Mean attention score for COVID-positive was 14 with a standard deviation of 1.51 , and for COVID-negative was 13 with a standard deviation of 2.41. The t test result was found 1.71 and the value for Cohen’s d was 0.501. The t-test was not statistically significant. Moderate effect size indicates potential attentional differences related to COVID-19. These findings highlight the need for further research and tailored approaches for patient care.31 pagesenBrac University theses are protected by copyright.
