Added Info and Future

[edit]

I added specific info regarding the effect of COVID-19 on nurses in hospitals in two countries, Malaysia and Albania.

I feel this article could have a lot more information added for specific countries, especially North America or China which were both big hot spots for the virus. There is a lot of information on the web that mentions how COVID-19 has impacted individual countries and that information can make this article more valuable for the reader. Having only two sentences about Africa seems like a very weak source, this heading can be expanded greatly.

I added information about the visitation rights of patients during the pandemic. I also talked about the new relationship patients have with nurses.

I believe this article could be improved by adding more statistical information from each country. It can also go into more detail of the number of patients admitted into the hospital during COVID-19, but it can also talk about how many supplies hospitals had available during the pandemic.

I added information more in regards to the general implications surrounding COVID-19. These included some that I found through research and some that I know are speculated in the world. I also added information to the China section, since there was a very slim amount there already. I found a strong research study done in China regarding post-pandemic effects on patient-doctor relations, which I found very informative. I hope this helps what the previous commenter discussed.

Since the pandemic is now over, I feel that more information can now be added in regards to post-pandemic changes and relizations. More research can be done in this area.

Future Information

[edit]

I contributed valuable information about the equipment shortages in North America. I noticed that there is a section about the impact of Covid-19 on female staff and I believe that this article would benefit from including further information or statistics on how the female staff is affected, not just that there are more females than males. Females experience more stress and anxiety and this may affect the work environment. Ebaugher1 (talk) 16:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]


I contributed information on how hospitals are tackling the visitation changes due to the pandemic. There are many resources that health care workers are using to ensure that patients are receiving the support they need while being alone in the hospital. In the future I believe that this article could benefit on focusing on certain areas of hospitals and how the pandemic is hitting different units such as the ICU compared to a medsurge floor.
