“Executive Functions of Those Recovered from Covid-19 Virus and Healthy People: A Comparative Study between a Sample of Egyptians and Kuwaitis.”

executive functions (Planning, Working memory, Monitoring, Inhibition and Organization of Material) in a sample of  Egyptians and Kuwaitis. Also tried to examine the significance of differences in those executive functions according to nationality, both entering medical isolation or not, the degree of severity of infection with Covid-19 among the sample of those survivors and the degree of severity of COVID-19 traumatic stress.
Objective: This study aims to clarify the differences between survivors from Covid-19 and the healthy people in some executive functions (Planning, Working memory, Monitoring, Inhibition and Organization of Material) in a sample of  Egyptians and Kuwaitis. Also tried to examine the significance of differences in those executive functions according to nationality, both entering medical isolation or not, the degree of severity of infection with Covid-19 among the sample of those survivors and the degree of severity of COVID-19 traumatic stress.
Methods: In order to verify the hypotheses of study, a battery of questionnaires including the demographic questionnaire, The COVID-19 traumatic stress Scale and Adult executive functioning inventory (ADEXI) have been used. After fulfilling the psychometric requirements of the battery, the data were collected from a sample (n=1106) persons, including (631) Egyptians and (475) Kuwaitis and (338) survivors from Covid-19, (768) healthy people, there ages ranged from 21-60 years, with a mean of 26.53 (SD =9.83). Data were entered and analyzed by the SPSS statistical program (version 22). And using statistical Tests: (T) test and one-way analysis of variance. Results: (1) There are no differences between the Egyptian sample and the Kuwaiti sample in some executive functions. (2) Those survivors from Covid-19 are lower in some of executive functions than a sample of healthy people. (3) Those survivors from Covid-19 who entered medical isolation are lower in some executive function than the sample of survivors from Covid-19 who did not enter medical isolation. (4) The moderate, severe and critical groups were the worst in the executive functions, whether at the level of their sub-domains or the overall degree.
