Health Perceptions and Trust in Healthcare After COVID-19: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Survey from Romania.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study is particularly relevant to the Romanian context, where relatively few empirical investigations have examined post-pandemic health perceptions and levels of trust in public institutions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health perceptions and trust in the healthcare system by examining key socioeconomic and epidemiological factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Romanian adults (N = 423), between March and April 2025. Demographic data, lifestyle habits, mental health, and access to healthcare were assessed. Statistical analyses included both bivariate (chi-square test) and multivariable logistic regression models to identify independent associations.
