dc.description.abstractBackground: The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a great deal of strain on healthcare providers across the world. There has been no research into the experiences of health care providers in Turkey caring for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the ICU. Objectives: To explain the experiences of health care providers who provide services to patients with Covid-19 in an intensive care unit. Methods: This study used a phenomenological approach to recruit 15 participants (10 nurses and 5 physicians). The data was gathered through semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face. Results: The four primary themes that came up in the results were COVID-19: the unidentified enemy, front-line struggle, psychological struggle, and invasion of social life. Conclusion: During the epidemic, health care providers encountered several psychological, physical, social, and professional difficulties. All health care personnel must receive information and skills training on what to do in crisis and risk circumstances such as infectious disease, decision-making, anxiety management, and problem-solving during pandemics. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
