Background of the Study
The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented strain on healthcare systems worldwide, especially in regions with limited resources. Borno State, located in northeastern Nigeria, has faced significant challenges in managing COVID-19 patients, compounded by the ongoing conflict in the region. Critical care nurses play an essential role in managing severe COVID-19 cases, often in difficult and resource-constrained environments. This study will assess the challenges faced by critical care nurses in Borno State healthcare facilities in managing COVID-19 patients, including issues related to personal protective equipment (PPE), training, and support.
Statement of the Problem
Critical care nurses in Borno State are at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, yet many face significant challenges due to the lack of resources, proper training, and support systems. These challenges can lead to increased exposure to the virus, burnout, and reduced quality of care for patients. Understanding these challenges and identifying solutions is essential to improving COVID-19 care in the region and preparing for future healthcare crises.
