Abstract: 
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus, has not only led to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide but has also profoundly impacted the quality of life of people post-recovery. This study aims to analyze the quality of life among post-COVID-19 people in Kolhapur, India, and to explore associations between their quality of life with their selected socio-demographic variables. A qualitative approach was considered. A non-experimental, exploratory research design was adopted, with data collected from 225 people through convenient sampling technique. Structured interview questionnaires and the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scale were utilized. The majority of subjects reported good quality of life (69.33%), with a smaller proportion reporting average quality (30.22%), and only one subject (0.44%) indicating poor quality of life. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between quality of life and type of diet and treatment, while no significant associations were found with other demographic variables. This study underscores the importance of addressing the psychological and physical well-being of post-COVID-19 people and suggests the need for tailored rehabilitation programs to improve their quality of life.
