Exploring perceptions of work motivation through the experiences of healthcare professionals who provided end-of-life care during the COVID-19 pandemic (PRECA-C project): a qualitative study
In this study, four themes, including the importance of organizational management to prevent isolation, maintaining connections among colleagues, and the need for supportive social voices from outside the hospital, emerged from interviews regarding HCPs' work motivation during the pandemic. These findings highlight the complex interplay of individual, organizational, and societal factors in shaping HCPs' motivation during pandemic waves.
