摘要：The COVID-19 pandemic has put great pressure on healthcare workers across the world, with reports from several countries that emphasize the substantial impact on well-being and mental health. However, there is unclarity as to what factors – if any – have been perceived as positive or attainable during the pandemic. To gain insight into what experiences and achievements have promoted a sense of accomplishment and pride among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: In June (T1) and December (T2) 2020, healthcare workers (N = 1552) at four Norwegian hospitals were invited to participate in a survey, assessing work-strain, psychological health, and support during the pandemic. The survey included the open-ended question “what have you been feeling proud of achieving at work during the past two weeks”. Responses to this item will be analyzed using content analysis (Hsieh & Shannon, 2005). Results: In total, 897 participants (77% female) gave a free-text response at T1 (484) or T2 (498). At T1, the mean age was 44 years, 60% were nurses, 20% medical doctors, 13% had another clinical profession, and the remaining worked non-clinically. At T2, the mean age was 43 years, 42% were nurses, 16% medical doctors, 25% had another clinical profession, and the remaining worked non-clinically. Results of the content analysis will be presented at the conference. Conclusions: The assessment of factors that promoted feelings of accomplishment in hospital staff during the pandemic could potentially aid in the design of preventative measures against adverse outcomes, and thus help maintain a sustainable working environment over time.
