The COVID-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of healthcare, including the education of certified registered nurse anesthesiologists. While the literature contains reports of the impact of COVID-19 on physician anesthesiologist faculty, there was no research identified describing the impact on nurse anesthesiologist faculty. The purpose of this study was therefore to describe and explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nurse anesthesiology faculty. This qualitative ethnographic study used small focus groups and semistructured and probing questions to examine the phenomenon of interest. Through thematic analysis of the narrative, five overarching themes were identified: 1) ability to adapt to adversity, 2) disruption leads to change, 3) perceived positive outcomes, 4) previously untapped resources, and 5) curricular innovation and integrity.
COVID-19 大流行对医疗保健的各个方面都产生了影响，包括认证注册护士麻醉师的教育。虽然文献中包含了 COVID-19 对医师麻醉师教师影响的报告，但没有发现描述对护士麻醉师教师影响的研究。因此，本研究的目的是描述和探讨 COVID-19 大流行对护士麻醉学教师的影响。这项定性民族志研究使用小型焦点小组和半结构化和探究性问题来检查感兴趣的现象。通过对叙述的主题分析，确定了五个总体主题：1）适应逆境的能力，2）中断导致变革，3）感知的积极结果，4）以前未开发的资源，以及 5）课程创新和完整性。
