Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of integrated neurofeedback and salutogenesis nursing intervention to relieve the neurocognitive function and mental health of late adolescents with post-COVID-19 symptoms.
Methods
This was a randomized controlled trial study. The participants were 61 late adolescents in experimental, control 1, and control 2 groups who had post-COVID-19 symptoms. The variables were evaluated using quantitative electroencephalography and a computerized neurocognitive battery at pre-post time points in all groups. The experimental group received 10 sessions of individual training for 5 weeks.
Results
The integrated neurofeedback and salutogenesis nursing intervention were effective for stress coping (F=3.41, p=.040), sense of coherence (F=0.67, p=.041), state of tension in closed eyes (H=0.39, p=.023), state of tension in opened eyes (H=0.14, p=034), SMR wave in closed eyes (H=6.19, p=045), SMR wave in opened eyes (H=6.02, p=049), memory (F=1.96, p=.015), attention (F=1.64, p=.020), depression, and anxiety (F=0.89, p=.041) in late adolescents.
Conclusion
The findings revealed that integrated neurofeedback and salutogenesis nursing intervention could be effective in reducing neurocognitive and psychiatric functions. Therefore, the integrated neurofeedback and salutogenesis nursing intervention could be a nursing intervention to support the recovery of post-COVID-19 late adolescents in the developmental stage.
