Aim of this study is to gain insight into how frontline nurses accepted and prepared themselves before COVID posting.
It is a qualitative and phenomenological study design. Eighteen in-depth interviews were conducted with the nurses who provided care to confirmed COVID 19 patients in a tertiary hospital of North India from September to November 2020. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) were followed in this study.
In this study, the reported experiences were divided into five main themes: (I) Getting ready to be at the frontlines (II) Family and peer support (III) I Can Handle it! (IV) I have to be Strong! (V) Training is key to confidence. The risk of infection, fear of being a source of infection to the family, the worry of staying away from family, uncertainty, and nervousness related to personal protective equipment were the most common thoughts that disturbed the participants. However, taking a good diet, practicing yoga and meditation, having a sense of serving their country and community, faith in God, family support, faith in the organization, and good training helped the participants to prepare for the COVID posting.
Despite facing various challenges, the nurses showed great strength and resilience. To promote a resilient health system, supportive supervision and adequate administrative support, training and workshops, peer group support, counseling cells, and spiritual support may be considered.
本研究旨在深入了解一线护士在被派往应对新冠疫情之前是如何接受并做好准备的。
这是一项定性的现象学研究设计。2020年9月至11月，对印度北部一家三级医院中为确诊的新冠19患者提供护理的护士进行了18次深入访谈。访谈内容经转录后采用科莱齐的现象学方法进行分析。本研究遵循了定性研究报告的统一标准（COREQ）。
在本研究中，所报告的经历分为五个主要主题：（一）准备好奔赴前线（二）家庭和同伴支持（三）我能应对！（四）我必须坚强！（五）培训是信心的关键。感染风险、担心成为家庭感染源、担心远离家人、不确定性以及与个人防护装备相关的紧张情绪是困扰参与者的最常见想法。然而，良好的饮食、练习瑜伽和冥想、有服务国家和社区的意识、对上帝的信仰、家庭支持、对组织的信任以及良好的培训帮助参与者为应对新冠疫情的工作做好了准备。
尽管面临各种挑战，护士们展现出了巨大的力量和韧性。为促进建立有韧性的卫生系统，可以考虑提供支持性监督、充足的行政支持、培训和工作坊、同伴群体支持、咨询小组以及精神支持。
