The study revealed that healthcare workers in Indonesia are facing challenges such as lack of personal protective equipment, limited referral hospitals and facilities, and dealing with patients with unknown status. They also expressed concerns about getting infected, being a source of viral transmission, and relied on spiritual faith to cope with the situation.
