Describe the ethics of the study (IRB)? Informed consent was obtained from the
Institute Ethical Committee prior to the study.
They provided an information sheet and
written consent for all the participants.
State the data collection procedure The data collection procedure in this study
was taken from the participants by
interviewing them at their convenient times in
separate rooms. The objective and importance
of the study were discussed with the
participants. After building rapport,
researchers started the face-to-face interview
for 20-30 minutes. Clarification, restating,
and active listening were used to collect
information. A mobile recorder is used to
record all the participant’s responses.
Discuss the results, conclusion and The study's result shows various nursing
recommendations of the study experiences, including helplessness, despair,
and an inability to assist patients. It shows
that nurses who live alone are able to function
independently and clearly. They experience
everything from minor pain to gastritis,
weight loss, self-pricking with needles, and
impaired eyesight and hearing when they
wear PPE. Their coping mechanisms—having
faith in God, taking walks in parks, being
self-assured, knowing enough about the
disease, and receiving support from loved
ones—made them strong enough to work in
COVID areas. In conclusion, it is clear that
nurses make every effort to cope with the
condition; through the ordeal, they
show professionalism, mental strength, and
motivation. They benefit individually and
professionally from this kind of experience,
which has helped them become mentors and
role models for aspiring nurses.
What is the level of evidence? Level VII, Evidence from the opinion of
authorities and/or reports of expert
committees.
