This study aimed to provide an in-depth exploration of how healthcare providers responded to the COVID-19 crisis through the use of meta-synthesis approach. The findings revealed that healthcare providers felt a strong sense of responsibility and exhaustion, but were able to overcome the challenges. Policy recommendations include designing better personal protective equipment, scheduling minimal working hours, providing live-in care facilities, and conducting frequent outbreak training for all staff.
Aim of the Study: There is currently no meta-synthesis focused on the lived experiences of health-care providers during COVID-19. This meta-synthesis adds to evidence-based literature with an in-depth exploration of how health-care providers responded to the COVID-19 crisis. Materials and Methods: The meta-synthesis approach was used for the extraction and synthesis of data. Results: Fifteen qualitative research articles were identified and analyzed; the majority of which were done in China 7 (48%) and Iran 6 (40%). The total sample size was 383, and the majority of the samples were nurses 282 (74%). Three overarching themes identified were It is my duty, I am exhausted and about to fall, and I have overcome it. The subthemes were professional responsibility, challenges faced, the unexpected burden at work, self-coping and reflection, hospital support, government support, and social support. Conclusion: The recommendations for the policy-makers, put forward by the current study are; designing and engineering effective personal protective equipment (lightweight protective suit with long-lasting durable diapers and face masks with a portal for drinking juice or water), rostering minimal working hours, live-in care facilities, exclusion of pregnant and sick health care providers during an epidemic assignment and frequent outbreak training sessions for all department staff.
