Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to explore the perceptions of nurses providing care to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients about barriers to teamwork. Materials and Methods The qualitative study was carried out using a content analysis method. Individual and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28 nurses in Iran. Conventional content analysis was used to categorize the data. Results The barriers to teamwork in caring for COVID-19 patients were divided into two categories including individual problems and organizational challenges. Individual problems were subcategorized into inadequate education, lack of motivation, inexperience, and misconceptions. Organizational challenges were subdivided into lack of organizational support, poor organizational communication, and inadequate infrastructure. Conclusion The results of this study highlighted barriers that led to poor teamwork in caring for these patients. These results can be employed to develop a model to eliminate or reduce barriers such as individual problems and organizational challenges of caring for patients with COVID-19.
