The instrument used was the Phobia of Covid-19 Scale Arpaci et al. (2020). The results showed that the Persian version of the Phobia of Covid-19 scale in women recovering from the disease, by combining two economic and social factors, covered three factors called psychological, psychological and socio-economic about Covid-19 disease, which are fitness indicators NFI, IFI, CFI, RFI, TLI (above 0.9) and RMSEA (range 0.08) were obtained in this 3-factor model. Therefore, the factor structure of the Persian version of the Covid-19 Fear Scale is reported to be optimal among improved women.
