The statistical analysis used was Spearman’s correlation test with the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The instruments used were the long COVID syndrome severity questionnaire (validity score between 0,000 and 0,02 and reliability score using coefficient Alpha Cronbach generate value α = 0,966) and the WHOQOL Bref questionnaire validity score between 0,390 and 0,798 and reliability score using coefficient Alpha Cronbach generate value α = 0,941). Results: A significant effect was obtained between the severity of long COVID syndrome and the quality of life on the physical aspect, p = 0,000 (p<0,005) with correlation strength -0,918. A significant effect was obtained between the severity of long COVID syndrome and the quality of life on the mental aspect, p = 0,000 (p<0,005) with correlation strength -0,947. A significant effect was obtained between the severity of long COVID syndrome and the quality of life on the social aspect, p = 0,000 (p<0,005) with correlation strength -0,949.
