From applause to disappointment – appreciation among healthcare providers that provided end-of-life care during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on well-being – a longitudinal mixed methods study (the CO-LIVE study)
This study shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare providers often felt neither appreciated nor understood, which is associated with lower scores of well-being. The expressed appreciation often did meet their needs or expectations, from both employers and society. With healthcare provider well-being still under strain, sustained attention to appreciation and understanding is important for retaining the workforce.
