Privacy and Security Concerns During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The study's objective is to ascertain healthcare personnel's perspectives and experiences on information privacy and security during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the abundance of research on privacy and security issues, this study focuses on the elements that influence privacy concerns in volatile, unpredictable, complicated, and ambiguous situations, which in the current scenario might include the COVID-19 pandemic. Three levels of coding were applied to all interview transcripts using the qualitative technique. The pandemic of COVID-19 has raised various concerns about technology, data privacy, and protection. The study's objective is to find, extract, summarize, and evaluate trends in a list of privacy threats associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were healthcare practitioners who worked closely with COVID-19 cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
