Article Abstract
Objectives: The study aimed to increase the understanding of the lived experience of patients during the acute phase of a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.
Method: A Web-based survey was distributed through established patient and public engagement and involvement groups and networks, social media, and by means of word of mouth. The survey covered questions relating to patient demographics, COVID-19 diagnosis, symptom profile, and patient experience during acute COVID-19.
Results: The findings demonstrate the varying symptom profiles experienced by people in the acute stage of COVID-19 infection, with participants sharing how they managed care at home, and/or accessed medical advice. Findings also highlight themes that people were concerned with being unable to receive care and believed they needed to rely heavily on family, with extreme thoughts of death.
Conclusions: Although the urgent threat to public health has been negated by efficacious vaccines and enhanced treatment strategies, there are key lessons from the lived experience of COVID-19 that should be used to prepare for future pandemics and public health emergencies.

Many women in intimate relationships with violent partners often report facing stigma related to intimate partner violence (IPV), which typically includes blame, shame, discrimination, loss of status, dismissal, or isolation. Researchers studying IPV and stigma have yet to examine the content of stigmatizing messages from informal support networks, which may resonate with women for an extended period - - and contribute to the persistence of their adverse outcomes. To address this gap, this qualitative study explored the content of memorable stigmatizing messages in the accounts of twenty-eight women affected by IPV living in the United States.
