Experiences, challenges, and training reflections of nurses in isolation wards during different pandemic prevention policy periods: a qualitative study by Dandan Zhang, Yitong Jia, Yongjun Chen, Qingqing Liao, Meimei Wang, Yin-Ping Zhang

“…Data analysis was conducted using Giorgi’s phenomenological approach, involving coding and theme extraction. Results From a content analysis perspective, five main themes were extracted from different stages of control policies during the pandemic: (1) Nurses’ feelings and responses: including early psychological stress and physical discomfort during the pandemic, adaptation and conflicts in isolation management during the rebound period, and later medical resource shortages. (2) Work achievements: covering a sense of mission, personal growth, and recognition. (3) Difficulties and challenges encountered: including initial workflow issues, resource shortages, critical care management gaps, communication barriers during the rebound period, and a decline in staff morale. (4) Training issues: rushed early training, limited content, lack of process and details during the rebound period, inconsistent standards, and lack of enthusiasm for participation. (5) Training improvement recommendations: suggesting an emphasis on training content, reasonable scheduling of training time, various forms of training, multiple assessment methods, and establishment of human resource reserves. …”
