Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of COVID-19 on front-line care workers (FLCWs) in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) across three Canadian provinces, highlighting the significant challenges they faced during the pandemic.
- It involved interviews with eleven managers and fourteen FLCWs, identifying key themes related to staff organization, communication strategies, and support systems during the crisis.
