    Prevalence and determinants of unmet sexual and reproductive health needs among adolescent girls and young women in the Haut-Sassandra Region, Côte d'Ivoire.

    Public health in practice (Oxford, England)·2026

    Healthcare workers with prior COVID-19 patient experience and physicians showed less intention to avoid treating infected patients. Increased anxiety correlated with higher avoidance intentions, highlighting factors for staffing during health crises.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare worker motivation and retention
    • Epidemiology of infectious diseases
    • Public health policy

    Background:

    • Healthcare worker (HCW) retention during the COVID-19 pandemic presents challenges.
    • Understanding motivational factors for caring for infected patients is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate factors influencing HCWs' willingness to treat COVID-19 infected patients.
    • Identify key drivers of motivation and avoidance behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • Online survey of HCWs in Québec, Canada (April-July 2020).
    • Assessed intention to avoid treating COVID-19 patients, prior experience, and anxiety levels.
    • Utilized descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.

    Main Results:

    • 430 HCWs completed the survey; 12% considered avoiding work, 5% took action.
    • Prior experience treating COVID-19 patients significantly reduced avoidance intention (OR: 0.56).
    • Higher anxiety scores correlated with greater intention to avoid treating patients (OR: 1.06).

    Conclusions:

    • Previous experience with COVID-19 patients is protective against work avoidance.
    • Physicians demonstrated significantly lower intentions to avoid treating COVID-19 patients.
    • Addressing anxiety and reluctance is vital for effective healthcare staffing during crises.
