The current study was conducted with the aim of investigating the lived experience of psychological distress in people with Corona. The statistical population of this research was all people infected with corona in Isfahan province, 14 of whom were selected using Kessler's Psychological Distress Questionnaire and in a purposeful way, who had the criteria to enter the research. The research data was collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews and the sampling continued until data saturation. The analysis of the research data was carried out using the Claysey method, which led to the extraction of 3 main themes of "disorder of straw power", "increasing dangers" and "internal commotion" and 15 sub-themes. The results of this research revealed that people with corona not only perceive experiences related to psychological distress from an individual point of view, but also from a family and social point of view, they are involved in unpleasant situations that aggravate psychological distress in them.
