To explore and understand the lived experiences, situational challenges, and psychological adaptations of nurses caring for patients with COVID-19.
Qualitative study using a phenomenological research design conducted in clinical settings in Korea.
Sample included 16 clinical nurses with direct experience caring for patients with COVID-19.
Data were gathered through one-on-one in-depth interviews conducted between June 30 and September 30, 2020, while following quarantine guidelines.
Extracted 38 sub-themes categorized into four overarching theme clusters: a repetitive sense of crisis, enduring drastic change, sacrifice of personal life, and pride in nursing.
Caregiving during the pandemic was experienced as uneasy, unfamiliar, and individually threatening, yet served as an impetus for organizational renewal and deepened vocational responsibility.
