The COVID-19 pandemic in India affected the quality of life for community health care professionals

Abstract

Outstanding to the nature of the sicknesses, unfavourable working situations, long work hours, disgrace, and discrimination in the community, the situation of the healthcare professionals in COVID-19 has gotten worse. A cross-sectional study employing an online inquiry form survey created on a Google form stood planned at two COVID-specific centres in New Delhi. Age, sex, job type, work environment, and discipline did not significantly affect any aspect of quality of life. Pre-existing PHC structures were a major sign that the majority of nations have the essential elements and means of operation for CHN. However, considerable shortcomings undermine CHNs' efforts to improve PHC in these countries. The primary causes of these gaps, according to the research, are policymakers' overall lack of commitment and their restricted ability to employ the global and regional policy tools available to them for CHN-related issues. The pandemic mostly affected HCWs' general vitality, mental health, and social well-being. The main concern mentioned by the majority of respondents was social isolation.
