Objective: To understand the sociodemographic profile, quality of life, functioning, and sleep quality of individuals diagnosed with Covid-19 in a basic health unit. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out with individuals diagnosed with Covid-19 using RT-PCR and/or antigen tests, who sought care at a basic health unit. The research is part of a multicenter study called REBRACOVID. The instruments used for data collection were WHODAS 2.0, SF-12, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess functioning, quality of life, and quality of sleep, respectively, in addition to the sociodemographic questionnaire. The mean, standard deviation and frequency values were used to describe the population. Results: The sample consisted of 50 individuals, with a mean age of 41.32 years (±16.47) years, with a higher frequency of females (62%), with a monthly income of 2 to 4 salaries (62%), with education complete higher education (38%), mixed race (56%) and employed (74%). Among the evaluated comorbidities, 16% reported having hypertension, 4% diabetes, 2% cardiovascular disease, lung disease and obesity. 75% of the population had poor sleep quality or sleep disturbance. Regarding functioning, the domains that had the greatest impact were domestic activity and work/study activity. Concerning quality of life, it is observed that physical health and mental health showed similar values and demonstrated a moderate impact. Conclusion: The research results showed that participants with Covid-19 presented negative impacts in the domains of domestic activity, work/study activity and cognition.
