Abstract
|
|
|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the meaning of the work performance of infection control nurses (ICNs) in general hospitals during the early COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This was a qualitative study to explore and describe the implications of the work performance of ICNs during the early COVID-19 pandemic through a phenomenological approach. One-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted with ICNs who had been working since before the COVID-19 pandemic in the infection control department.
Results: The topics brought up by the participants were categorized into five themes. The themes included ¡°confusion caused by the early COVID-19 pandemic,¡± ¡°exhaustion due to an explosion of work related to COVID-19,¡± ¡°active response as an ICN,¡± ¡°emphasis on the importance of infection control,¡± and ¡°overcoming the early COVID-19 pandemic¡±.
Conclusion: It is necessary to strengthen the competence of ICNs as experts and establish a career management system to overcome the confusion and physical and psychological difficulties experienced by ICNs.
