Abstract

Everyone in Egypt suffered, and is continuing to suffer, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, one of the most vulnerable groups that was severely hit by the pandemic was that of the healthcare professionals (HCPs) who work in public isolation hospitals. Based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of HCPs, occupying different positions, and located in different geographical areas in Egypt, the study assessed the extent of impact of COVID-19 on HCPs perceived sense of wellbeing and its different dimensions, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Findings showed that although HCPs felt a sense of pride with the work they were doing, and were mostly satisfied with their financial compensation, all other dimensions of their wellbeing were compromised, including the physical, psychological, emotional, social, developmental, and work domain-related aspects.
