COVID 19 Pandemic 1 The impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on primary health care around the U.S. is considerable Vanessa Garcia St. Joseph?s College HA 498:?Research in Health Administration May 2021 Abstract In today?s world we are all suffering through this pandemic that has taken the lives of many people all around the world. Primary health care and all health care workers have had their losses whether it be a patient they were caring for or a loved one. This paper examines the essential part of management and how health care managers have been able to deal with day to day at work and at home life. This research shows that during COVID-19, the different changes that had to be made in order to deal with employees and their new normal with this virus.

Introduction The impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on primary health care around the world is considerable. The new corona virus is a highly destructive because of the fact that it has managed to affect the health of people in a large number of ways. The pandemic has dramatically reduced access to primary health care in the majority of companies around the world including developed countries such as the United States and Australia (Halcomb 559). The poor access to health care services can lead to a decrease in the quality of life for millions of people throughout the world. In its turn, the decreased quality of life will impact economic as well as social development in a negative way leading to the spread of complex diseases. The COVID 19 pandemic has presented an international health crisis of a scope not seen in our lifetime. While much attention has been paid to health workers in critical care and acute areas, nurses working outside of hospitals are also significantly affected. This study sought to investigate the experience of nurses working in Australian primary health care during the COVID 19 pandemic. In particular, it sought to understand the implications on their employment status, role, and access to personal protective equipment. (Halcomb, 559). Health care administrators have been challenged throughout this entire COVID 19 pandemic. Hospital administrators have to deal with equipment shortages for patients and health care workers, staffing shortages, and also having to furlough staff and slashing benefits. For my research, I find that showing the age distribution of participants would be one of the ways to show my sample. There are various ways of displaying the “age” data. These include a simple table as illustrated in Table 5.3 and Figure 5.3.?Robson, 2014 p 117). I have age distribution of participants because my research study includes ages of Health Care Administrators and based on their answers it will be interesting to see if the “age” group makes a difference in opinions in regards to health care administrators and how they have “coped” with the pandemic. Has work and home life affected them and their job duties? Has a certain age group lost more loved ones than others?? Review of Literature Covid 19; Hospital admission Hospital admission during the COVID-19 pandemic were at its all time high. The 2019?2020 pandemic Corona-virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has inundated hospital systems globally, as they prepare to accommodate surge of patients requiring advanced levels of care. (Gupta, Federman,2020). Pandemic preparedness has not been this urgently and widely needed in the last several decades. According to epidemiological predictions, the peak of this pandemic has still not been reached, and hospitals everywhere need to ensure readiness to care for more patients than they usually do, and safety for health care workers who strive to save lives. We share our hospital-wide rapid preparedness and response to COVID-19 to help provide information to other health care systems globally. (Gupta, Federman, 2020). Within three months from the first diagnosed case of COVID-19 in the U.S.A. in late January 2020, the number of SARS-CoV2-infected individuals in the U.S.A. is close to a million, and the number of casualties has surpassed 45,000 [1]. Globally, SARS-CoV2 has infected millions, with an overall case fatality rate of >6.5% [1]. As rapid testing becomes more readily available in the next few weeks, it is expected that many more cases will be diagnosed, and many of them would need hospitalization for care. (Gupta & Federman, 2020). COVID-19; Disruptive affects and improvements. The COVID-19 pandemic has seen health and medical research promoted as countries establish resilient health systems and rapidly responsive prevention, detection, and treatment methods. However, the pandemic will probably negatively affect the capacity and outcomes of the health and medical research sector itself. Research Australia is a national alliance of health and medical research stakeholders. In May, 2020, all members on Research Australia’s contact list were invited to participate in, and share with colleagues, a 10 min online survey. The questionnaire contained 52 questions about research and employment and perceptions of the effect of the pandemic on researchers’ activities (Deakin Human Research Ethics Committee project number HEAG-H-71_2020). (Gupta, Federman, 2020). Data were analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics and logistic regression. 1212 members responded, with most of the responses from researchers in the university sector (79?%), who are early in their career (41?%), working full time (70?%), and in permanent positions (38?%; appendix). Overall, 79?% of participants indicated that their research was affected by the pandemic, with a further 9?% of participants indicating that it was likely to be affected in the future. (Peeters, 2002). Although COVID 19 has spread over 200 countries, and has taken the lives of over 300,000 people, lets look at the facts. Human crisis like COVID-19 pandemic has also offered some unique opportunities for the health care sector. It has allowed us to revisit the health care delivery. Rationalizing and optimizing the available resources during such crisis are some of the most import lessons learned from this crisis. Although, there has been severe disruption in the health care delivery during this time globally, but several positives have also come out of it viz., the effective use of telemedicine, importance of personal hygiene, and the importance of infection control. (Brunier,2020). The virtual means of teaching, educating, and sharing knowledge has now become popular and acceptable. The research and publications have also seen a significant rise during these difficult times. COVID 19; Physical and mental impacts The physical and mental impacts COVID-19 had on essential workers is nothing short of what is called a disaster. A systematic literature search was conducted using two databases: PubMed and Google Scholar. We found 154 studies, and out of which 10 met our criteria. We collected information on the date of publication, first author?s country, the title of the article, study design, study population, intervention and outcome, and key findings, and divided all research articles into two domains: physical and mental health impact. (Shaukat, 2020). Our findings identified the following risk factors for COVID-19-related health impact: working in a high-risk department, diagnosed family member, inadequate hand hygiene, suboptimal hand hygiene before and after contact with patients, improper PPE use, close contact with patients (= 12 times/day), long daily contact hours (= 15 h), and unprotected exposure. (Shaukat, 2020). The most common symptoms identified amongst HCWs were fever (85%), cough (70%), and weakness (70%). Prolonged PPE usage led to cutaneous manifestations and skin damage (97%), with the nasal bridge (83%) most commonly affected site. HCWs experienced high levels of depression, anxiety, insomnia, and distress. Female HCWs and nurses were disproportionately affected. (Shaukat, 2020) The frontline health care workers are at risk of physical and mental consequences directly as the result of providing care to patients with COVID-19. Even though there are few intervention studies, early data suggest implementation strategies to reduce the chances of infections, shorter shift lengths, and mechanisms for mental health support could reduce the morbidity and mortality amongst HCWs. (Shaukat, 2020). Hypothesis H1. Research Design This study will focus on fixed research by quantitative design by survey. According to Robson; ?Survey involves collecting data from groups of participants on a range of variables typically using questionnaires?, (Robson, 2014, p. 30). This study will research how COVID 19 has impacted primary health care around the U.S. In this study it will incorporate data from twenty participants that will be obtained through quantitative design by survey. Collective data will be analyzed and shared. This study will use explanation design in which questions will be derived from data by survey. Quantitative research is based on collective data that can be quantified by numbers or can be converted into numbers, (Robson, 2014, p. 109). Quantitative designs can access a larger population by survey method and is used to verify if a hypothesis is correct. Quantitative designs can also change and manipulate data based on what is being studied. The hypothesis that will be proven during this study is; how Corona-virus has impacted health care around the U.S., and how health care administrators have been affected. Results/Findings Corona-virus is now the talk of the year and due to the pandemic, which has taken the lives of over 207,000, thousand people. Many people think that the Corona-virus was man-made and others think that it originated from Wuhan, China. Scientists first identified a human Corona-virus in 1965. It caused a common cold. Later that decade, researchers found a group of similar human and animal viruses and named them after their crown-like appearance. (WebMD,2020). This theory cannot be explained, and scientists and professionals are still trying to come up a vaccine for this virus. People have failed to notice that this pandemic is not going anywhere anytime soon.?f this continues, and it is believed that Corona-virus was man-made, we?ll never understand the larger question, which is why? By rethinking our approach and following the CDC guidelines we can potentially fix the issue and get rid of Corona-virus once and for all. I would like to find out more information on the following questions: What are the health care issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic? What is being done to address these issues? What is the level of effectiveness of the current approaches to addressing the problem? What are the consequences in case the issues are not properly addressed for both patients and health care organizations? How can the COVID-19 pandemic transform the process of providing primary health care in the United States? Interpretation of Findings My theory is unsupported, as well as the written and discussed substance of the project report cannot be demonstrated either by evidence presented(Spoorthy,et.al 2020). Every one of the participants expressed their opinion upon this corona virus, the problems and issues which arose with the impending disease outbreak, the problems brought to them through the disease outbreak, like death of a loved, working remotely, Worked from home due to closings, children’s learning being interrupted(Spoorthy, et.al 2020) due to school closures, the increasing living costs due to modern and irregular living norms, such as the wearing of masks, as well as an increase in taxation, resulting in wage reduction, from attached document showing the data of comparison between both the men and women sample of 10 people in diverse fields of study and varying levels of studies achieved(Spoorthy, et.al 2020). It should be remembered that disease has harmful consequences for individuals or beings who are at greater risk of acquiring the virus, despite the government’s stringent control and preventative methods imposed on the World Health Organization’s recommendations to minimize transmission saving livelihood(Spoorthy, et.al 2020). The thesis below will explain and where necessary explain what is justifiable about the global pandemic, Corona Virus: with reference to World Health Organization and the Covid -19 response team(Spoorthy, et.al 2020). health care issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic The hypothesis will be addressed in the succeeding sections and include, interruption of health programs, disruption of management and cure of non-communicable diseases ( NCDs), social stigma, panic, alienation, death, and reduced income, as well as how the disease outbreak has produced health care problems(Boyle, et.al 2020). First, as per a WHO study released on October 10, 2020, psychological health care systems are being disrupted in most countries around the globe even as demand for cognitive health treatment grows(Boyle, et.al 2020). COVID-19 has a detrimental effect on access to mental health services, as shown by global survey results from 130 nations, underscoring the immediate need for adequate funding. According to the WHO, nations were investing less of their public health care budgets on mental well-being prior to the disease outbreak, and were unable to meet the demands of their citizens(Boyle, et.al 2020). Countries would then raise funding to address the problems that have arisen as a result of the corona virus’s spread. Second, when the COVID-19 outbreak started, diagnosis and care programs for non-communicable diseases ( NCDs) were seriously disrupted, as shown in a WHO survey conducted by 155 countries over a three-week period in May, which indicated that the effect is global, with developing countries being the hardest hit. This is a serious situation because people who live with non-communicable diseases are at risk(Boyle, et.al2020). According to Dr.Tedros, and Director-General of the World Health Organization(Boyle, et.al 2020). ?Many people who need treatment for diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes have not been receiving the health services and medicines they need since the COVID-19 pandemic began(Boyle, et.al 2020). It?s vital that countries find innovative ways to ensure that essential services for NCDs continue, even as they fight COVID-19.? Death, loneliness, lack of income, and anxiety may all cause or exacerbate mental health problems(Boyle, et.al 2020). Many individuals may be experiencing a rise in alcohol and drug use, as well as anxiety and depression. COVID-19, on the other hand, can cause neurological and mental problems like delirium, anxiety, and stroke(Boyle, et.al 2020). People who have an emotional, neurological(Boyle, et.al 2020), or substance-abusing condition. More vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection, they may stand a higher risk of severe outcomes and even death.? Limitations Conclusions and Recommendations The covid-19 pandemic has had a significantly negative impact on primary health care in the United States. Americans have been affected by the virus and have experienced deaths resulting from the virus. The mental health problem among the majority of the population has risen. The group that has been affected the most is the youth. The health care system has seen a shortage in personnel supply due to few qualified health practitioners. The health care administration has been directly exposed to the threat of contracting the virus. However, their salary has not experienced any increment due to the economic recess brought upon the country by the virus. Although the study had some flaws, it generated the general idea of how the pandemic has impacted the health care system and the health care administration in the U.S. To further research this topic a larger random sample size should be surveyed. Respondent?s should be from different hospitals in different locations. References Bhargava, H. (2020, April 15). Corona-virus History: How did Corona-virus start?
