Implications for COVID-19

Abstract

Aim: To carry out systematic review and meta-analysis of experiences of nurses working during respiratory infection pandemic in hospitals providing management of the acute conditions. Background:  The major portion of the health professionals working as the main frontline workers in COVID -19 pandemics and other respiratory pandemics are constituted by nurses. In recent literature there has been evaluation of the increased risk among health workers. But very few studies have been put forward which have provided data especially regarding risk among the nurses irrespective of the other health activists and analysed the experience of nurses regarding their involvement in the pandemic. Review Results: The systematic and meta-analysis contained reports from 15 qualitative research including 397 nurses. The study was primarily phenomenological in nature. The majority of the nurses were female and between the ages of twenty to fifty years. The review and meta-analysis included 136 findings of the study, 111 of which were unambiguous and 25 of which were convincing. The nursing teams offered high-quality care despite facing significant emotional, social and physical consequences, and lack of responsiveness of formalised managerial reaction.
