Front-line Nursing Home Staff Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Elizabeth M. White et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing home staff faced ongoing constraints on testing and continued reliance on crisis standards for extended use of personal protective equipment. They expressed fears of infection, empathy for residents, burnout due to increased workloads, staffing shortages, and emotional burden, as well as the demoralizing impact of negative media coverage and lack of organizational communication and teamwork. These challenges are likely to contribute to increased burnout, turnover, and staff shortages in the long term for this already strained and vulnerable workforce.
