| Περιγραφή: | Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a far-reaching negative impact on healthcare systems worldwide and has placed healthcare providers under immense physiological and psychological pressures. Objective: The aim of current study was to undertake an in-depth exploration of the experiences of health-care staff working during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: Using a thematic analysis approach, a qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with 97 health care professionals. Participants were health care professionals including pre-hospital emergency services (EMS), physicians, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory personnel, radiology technicians, hospital managers and managers in the ministry of health who work directly or indirectly with COVID-19 cases. Results: Data analysis highlighted four main themes, namely: â��Working in the pandemic eraâ��, â��Changes in personal life and enhanced negative affectâ��, â��Gaining experience, normalization and adaptation to the pandemicâ�� and â��Mental Health Considerationsâ�� which indicated that mental ill deteriorations unfolded through a stage-wise process as the pandemic unfolded. Conclusions: Participants experienced a wide range of emotions and development during the unfolding of the pandemic. Providing mental health aid should thus be an essential part of services for healthcare providers during the pandemic. Based on our results the aid should be focused on the various stages and should be individual-centred. Such interventions are crucial to sustain workers in their ability to cope throughout the duration of the pandemic. © 2020 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. |
