BACKGROUND: Since the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), health care
professionals in Lebanon have been diligently serving as the frontline of
defense. In the light of challenging economic and political circumstances,
putting their community wellbeing as a priority, and abiding by quarantine and
strict infection control measures, health care professionals risk both their
physical and mental wellbeing. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to explore the
psychosocial effects of being quarantined following exposure to COVID-19 among
Lebanese health care professionals. METHOD: An exploratory qualitative research
design was employed, where semi-structured interviews were carried out involving
a sample of 13 Lebanese health care providers working at various COVID-19 units.
RESULTS: The qualitative analysis has revealed four themes namely 'Fears of
contracting and spreading the virus', 'Conflict between professional duty and
family obligation', 'Stigma of being infected', and 'Inadequate or inaccurate
information'. CONCLUSION: COVID-19 quarantine has been posing intense
psychological challenges among Lebanese health care workers which are worsened at
times by the economic instability; thus, health care policymakers are urged to
take proper action nationwide to alleviate longlisting implications and support
the health care providers in fulfilling their mission.
