ROLES OF FRONTLINE HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN CURBING THE PANDEMIC

 


Healthcare workers globally have risen to the challenge of treating covid-19 patients, seemingly at a massive cost to their health and well-being. There has been a growing awareness of the mental health effect of the pandemic on frontline workers and the need for psychosocial support for them.

Throughout the pandemic, essential workers have made significant contributions to the basic functions of the economy and society. Nonetheless, not all workers face the same level of infection risk. Some of these workers are “frontline,” meaning they must perform their duties in person, whereas others can work from home. Frontline health workers include nurses, doctors, and lab scientists.

Healthcare providers are fighting covid-19 amidst fast-changing methods for dealing with the current crisis. They face difficulties in dealing with the unforeseen pandemic because of their unpreparedness, the virus’s frequent changes, and the challenges of performing their duties due to a lack of protocol, accurate information, and proper equipment for preventing contamination. Lack of preparation can result in physical and psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, fear, helplessness, hopelessness, anger, and stigma. However, healthcare providers who work with COVID-19 patients strive to do their jobs professionally and make as many sacrifices as possible.

EXPERIENCES BEFORE AND AFTER THE COVID-19

Image
  Before the covid-19 virus spread, we all had lives. Everyone and everything was busy and noisy until the virus came and took it away. Before the lockdown, we had family get-togethers, union meetings, parties, and complete work, school, and social life. At the time of the virus, all of these changes happened quickly and all at once. Everything is starting to return to normal, but we can't be too confident because a cure hasn't yet been discovered. Still, it's best to keep up with the covid-19 safety measures , get the vaccine shots, and get tested with the PCR test for covid-19 or other covid-19 tests. We were affected by the sudden spread of the virus and the total lockdown. But it did help family life, work life, and children who didn't get enough care and attention from their parents.

BLOOD DONATION DURING COVID-19: ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES.

Image
  Blood transfusions are an integral part of healthcare in all medical facilities. With the dawn of the pandemic, the adequate and safe availability of blood to meet patient needs became a significant concern. The fear of getting infected with the virus while transfusing blood was a huge problem. Blood transfusion centres in many parts of the country faced difficulties, thus generating a shortage of blood services and blood donors. New policies were implemented, like providing spacious rooms, free blood screening, and keeping the beds at a distance were to this effect. Transfusions of blood and blood products save lives every year. There is a need for blood and plasma every day to assist covid-19 patients, cancer patients, new mothers and babies, people with immune inadequacies, and people who need surgery. Currently, there’s no evidence anywhere in the world that coronavirus or other respiratory viruses can get transmitted through blood transfusion. Nevertheless, there are some advant
