“…However, during the pandemic, hospitals experienced shortages of PPE (Cohen, Van Der & Rodgers 2020 ). This condition also found COVID-19 in Indonesia (Sampe et al 2021 ).

Due to the emergence of COVID-19, hospitals are required to increase vigilance in providing care. However, their readiness for infection prevention and control (IPC) as a referral hospital in providing COVID-19 services has not been determined. This study aims to evaluate the IPC structure of 30 private non-profit Indonesian referral hospitals for COVID-19 based on the World Health Organization Infection Prevention and Control Assessment Framework (WHO IPCAF). A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study was used, where 30 hospitals as the COVID-19 referral hospital were selected. The data collection was conducted by an online survey using the IPCAF questionnaire created by the WHO and was analysed with descriptive analysis. The majority of the hospitals’ IPC level is at an advanced level (73.3%). All type B hospitals have an advanced IPC level, while only 64.7% of type C and 71.4% of type D have an advanced level. The highest average IPC score is on the IPC guidelines component (94.0), while the lowest value of 71.9 is on the Surveillance of HAIs component. In the minimum scores, there were hospitals with the lowest scores in HAI Surveillance and Multimodal strategies, namely 20.0 and 25.0, respectively. Preparing human resource capacities, establishing functional programmes, developing and implementing IPC guidelines, and providing adequate supplies are needed to improve hospital IPC structures.Contribution: This study demonstrates the necessity to improve hospital IPC structures to increase the resilience of health services to natural hazards and public health emergencies.

Background: As an epidemic, COVID-19 has brought a new shock to the world’s healthcare system. The crisis caused by this disease and the prolonged involvement of communities and healthcare systems have intensified the duties and psychological burden of nurses. The current study aimed to explain the experience of ICU nurses during the COVID-19 crisis. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted using conventional content analysis in 2021. Twenty nurses of the COVID-19 ICU of Ahvaz hospitals were selected by purposive sampling. The main method of data collection was semistructured interview. The process of data analysis was done based on Granheim and Lundman’s approach using MAXQDA-2020. For the scientific rigor of the findings, Guba and Lincoln’s four criteria were abided by. The COREQ (Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research) checklist was used to ensure the study met the recommended standards of qualitative data reporting. Results: After data analysis, 22 subcategories, eight categories, and one theme (growth under pressure) were extracted. The eight main categories included (psychological crisis, physical exhaustion, family conflicts, complex care, professional development, expertise, life enrichment, and full support). Conclusions: Despite the pressures that ICU nurses faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were able to grow by benefiting from positive experiences. These findings can lead to the development and implementation of effective interventions to improve adaptation strategies of nurses, especially those working in the intensive care unit, during the COVID-19 and other future crises.

“…As a result of public panic stockpiling and a lower supply than demand, Indonesia, like most other countries, faced a scarcity of PPE at the start of the pandemic. [33][34][35] However, the situation has improved significantly, with most health facilities providing PPE to doctors and other healthcare employees.…”

Background: Indonesia's COVID-19 pandemic is putting a strain on the ability of health systems around the world to adapt and maintain sustainable performance. Indonesia has had more than four million cases of the disease and more than 141 thousand deaths in Indonesia. The hospital, along with other healthcare facilities, contributes to providing comprehensive individual health care in outpatient, inpatient, and emergency settings. Changes in facilities for patient accommodation, and acquisition of personal protective equipment (PPE) are all going through substantial changes. As doctors and health workers continue to work on this case every day while out in the field, many of their colleagues become ill and some die as a result. The aim of the study was intended to provide an overview of the conditions faced by doctors in Indonesia in dealing with COVID-19.Methods: The researchers surveyed the situation of 270 Indonesian doctors and specialists working during the COVID-19 pandemic. The questionnaires adapted from the WHO risk assessment tool for healthcare workers were translated into Bahasa Indonesia and distributed from April 2021 to May 2021 using a retrospective study.Results: Most respondents were female (61.5%) with an average age of 27.7. Forty respondents (14.8%) had a history of COVID-19.Conclusions: Based on compliance with using PPE and compliance with washing hands, doctors in Indonesia had a low risk of contracting COVID-19 from the healthcare facility environment. Even so, a correlation was found between the history of COVID-19 and happiness at work.
