Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of patients who had recovered from COVID 19 on the psychological factors affecting their recovery during the disease. Method: This qualitative study was conducted in 1399. The data collection method was semi-structured in-depth interviews. Participants were patients who had recovered from COVID 19 and were willing to talk about their experience. Sampling was done from 3 cities of Gachsaran، Basht and Noorabad with purposeful sampling approach. Data were analyzed by content analysis method. The extracted codes were managed through MAXQDA software version 10. Findings: A total of 15 interviews were conducted with 8 women and 7 men aged 23 to 58 years. Analysis of participants' conversations about psychological factors contributing to the recovery of patients with COVID 19 led to the identification of 305 codes، which were divided into 2 main categories، including " factors related to patient" and “Factors related to patient’s relations" and 9 subcategories. Conclusion: According to the results of this study، the thoughts and behaviors of the patient، staff and acquaintances are effective in the mental health of the patient and accelerate the healing process، which need pay attention. One of the responsibilities of the medical staff is to provide consultation sessions for patients’ acquaintances and their nurses regarding the thoughts and behavior of the patient and his/her relations.
