Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the family and social lives of healthcare professionals

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the impact of the novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) on the family and social lives of frontline healthcare workers during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: A total of 136 frontline healthcare workers working in COVID-19 clinics and wards, intensive care units (ICUs), and emergency units were included. A questionnaire consisting of 19 questions was applied to all participants through face-to-face interviews. The demographic and occupational characteristics and family and social lives of the participants were documented. Results: While 95 (69.9%) of the participants experienced negative consequences in their family life, 91 (66.9%) of them were found to have negative consequences in their social life. 51 of the healthcare professionals (37.5%) used spirituality as a strategy to cope with negative thoughts and emotions. During the pandemic, a statistically significant relationship was found between frontline work and family life, especially for those with children. Conclusion: The family and social lives of healthcare professionals who care for patients with Covid are adversely affected..
