摘要

背景:随着 COVID-19 大流行病的不断蔓延,对院前服务的需求大幅增加。紧急医疗服务(EMS)提供者遇到了无数挑战,这些挑战对他们的专业表现产生了明显的影响。本研究旨在探讨急救医疗服务提供者在 COVID-19 大流行初期所面临的挑战:这项定性研究采用内容分析法,于 2021 年 4 月至 8 月期间在伊朗哈马丹医科大学附属急救中心进行。这项研究有 21 名急救人员参与,采用目的性抽样和半结构化访谈的方式进行,一直持续到数据达到饱和为止。数据分析采用了 Graneheim 和 Lundman 概述的传统内容分析法:通过对访谈数据的分析,确定了 219 个主要代码,然后将其归纳为 10 个不同的类别。这些类别被进一步整合为三个总体主题:个人安全挑战、专业-组织挑战和受到威胁的心理健康:紧急医疗服务人员在灾难和大流行病期间的医疗保健工作中发挥着至关重要的作用,他们面临着可能产生负面影响的挑战。应对这些挑战会影响心理健康和职业幸福感,但意识、支持、资源和服务有助于减轻不良后果。

Exploring the challenges of emergency medical service providers in the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative content analysis.

Background: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, there has been a substantial increase in the demand for prehospital services. Emergency medical service (EMS) providers have encountered a myriad of challenges that have had a discernible impact on their professional performance. This study was designed to explore the challenges faced by EMS providers during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: This qualitative research was conducted using a content analysis approach at emergency medical centers affiliated with Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in Iran between April and August 2021. This study included the participation of 21 EMS personnel, which was conducted using purposive sampling and semistructured interviews, and continued until data saturation was reached. The conventional content analysis method, as outlined by Graneheim and Lundman, was applied for data analysis.

Results: The analysis of the interview data resulted in the identification of 219 primary codes, which were then organized into ten distinct categories. These categories were further consolidated into three overarching themes: personal safety challenges, professional-organizational challenges, and threatened mental health.

Conclusions: EMS personnel play a critical role in healthcare during disasters and pandemics, facing challenges that can have negative effects. Managing these challenges can impact mental health and professional well-being, but awareness, support, resources, and services can help mitigate adverse consequences.
