Being a professional nurse at a south african rural-based hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors and all individuals. However, the people most severely affected by the pandemic are the health care workers including professional nurses who are on the frontline in the fight against the COVID-19.
Aim
The aim of this study was to gain in-depth understanding of being professional nurse at a South African rural-based hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Setting
The study was conducted at a rural-based district hospital in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
Methods
The research followed an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) design. Data were collected telephonically from nine purposively sampled professional nurses using in-depth individual interviews. Verbatim transcribed data were analysed thematically guided by an interpretative phenomenological analysis framework.
Results
The results indicate that professional nurses are confronted with death on a continuous basis, and the effects of witnessing a COVID-19-related death are visible in professional nurses’ behaviour.
Recommendations
The results reflected the trauma experienced by professional nurses during the provision of care to the patients with Covid 19 which requires the services related to debriefing, psychological and emotional support from the hospitals.
Conclusion
The experiences of professional nurses warrant urgent support in order to ensure that they remain emotionally and socially stable and able to provide care to the patients. The finding has implications on the nursing profession, policy and provision of care to patients.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
