Abstract

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Iran's mass education centers, which house a large number of trainees, encountered numerous difficulties in managing the disease. Understanding these challenges can help manage future pandemics. This study was conducted to explore the challenges of managing the COVID-19 pandemic in mass education centers in Iran. Methods: In this qualitative study, we used a qualitative content analysis of data collected from June to October 2022 in eight mass education centers in Iran. Semi-structured interviews (n=19) were used for data collection. Results: Four main themes and eleven subthemes were identified: The essence of dormitory life (Subthemes included: "The high population density in the dormitory", "Public toilets" and, Interprovincial travel), the inflexibility of the profession (Subthemes included: "Inapplicable health protocols" and, "Inflexible rules and regulations"), Negligence (Subthemes included: "Not adhering to health protocols", "Non acceptance of illness", and "High-risk taking"), and Weakness of health-care platform (Subthemes included: "shortage of healthcare facilities", "Lack of specialized personnel", and "The uni-dimensional aspect of healthcare services"). Conclusion: We identified several challenges that made the handling of COVID-19 difficult in Iran's centers for mass education. These findings can help future research in addressing the challenges and designing adaptable plans for pandemic management in mass education centers.

探讨在伊朗大众教育中心管理COVID-19大流行的挑战:定性内容分析。
背景:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,伊朗的大众教育中心接待了大量培训生,在管理疾病方面遇到了许多困难。了解这些挑战有助于管理未来的大流行病。本研究旨在探讨在伊朗大众教育中心管理COVID-19大流行的挑战。方法:在这项定性研究中,我们对伊朗8个大众教育中心于2022年6月至10月收集的数据进行了定性内容分析。采用半结构化访谈(n=19)收集数据。结果:确定了四个主要主题和十一个次要主题:宿舍生活的本质(次要主题包括:“宿舍人口密度高”、“公共厕所”和省际旅行)、专业的不灵活性(次要主题包括:“不适用的卫生协议”和“不灵活的规章制度”)、疏忽(次要主题包括:“不遵守卫生协议”、“不接受疾病”和“高风险”),以及卫生保健平台薄弱(分主题包括:“卫生保健设施短缺”、“缺乏专业人员”和“卫生保健服务的单一性”)。结论:我们确定了使伊朗大众教育中心难以应对COVID-19的几个挑战。这些发现可以帮助未来的研究应对挑战,并为大众教育中心的大流行管理设计适应性计划。
