Abstract

Nurses face several challenges in providing care for patients with coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19). The study aimed to explain the nurses' perception of ethical challenges in this regard. The qualitative study was carried out using a content analysis method. Individual and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 nurses. Inductive content analysis was used to categorize the data. Nurses' narratives indicated that ethical challenges in caring for patients with COVID-19 included threats to professional values and the absence of a holistic COVID-19 care approach. The first category was subcategorized into the risk of declining quality of patient care and a stigmatized public image about COVID-19 care. The second category was divided into poor spiritual care, poor compassionate care, and lack of family-centered care. Health care managers must develop protocols for nurses that address these issues to alleviate the ethical challenges of COVID-19 care.

护士对COVID-19患者护理中伦理挑战的认知:定性分析

2019年，护士在为冠状病毒病(COVID-19)患者提供护理方面面临着若干挑战。本研究旨在解释护士对这方面伦理挑战的感知。采用内容分析法进行定性研究。对24名护士进行了个别和半结构化访谈。采用归纳内容分析法对数据进行分类。护士的叙述表明，护理COVID-19患者的道德挑战包括对专业价值观的威胁以及缺乏整体的COVID-19护理方法。第一类被细分为患者护理质量下降的风险和对COVID-19护理的污名化公众形象。第二类分为精神关怀差、慈悲关怀差和缺乏以家庭为中心的关怀。卫生保健管理人员必须为护士制定解决这些问题的方案，以减轻COVID-19护理的道德挑战。
