“…The Johns Hopkins Center for Communications shares five lessons on communication on the current COVID-19 pandemic. These are building trust, having one set of messages, countering myths and misinformation, promote action and being empathetic (Krenn, 2020). This is also supported by other studies (Leary, 2017).…”

“…This requires a pandemic preparedness and response plan. For example, an Ebola preparedness and response plan addressed the key areas of coordination and resource mobilization, epidemiology, surveillance and laboratory, case management and infection prevention, social mobilization and media communication, logistics and recovery (Jones et al, 2020). In Sierra Leone, training at the National Ebola Training Academy dealt with every aspect of the disease that was useful for the survival of patients and health care workers.…”

A nurse leader has the capacity to influence, coordinate and integrate nursing care for patients and families and advocate for the nursing profession to achieve positive health outcomes. In Zambia, nurse leaders operate at all levels of the health system and can contribute significantly to alleviating the negative outcomes of diseases of epidemic potential. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity to strengthen nursing leadership efforts towards the reduction of morbidity and mortality from this outbreak. A cross-sectional survey of nurse leaders in six provinces of Zambia was conducted. The data was collected through telephone interviews and self-administered questionnaires on roles and responsibilities, nursing leadership, involvement in policy advice and overall experience with the COVID-19 outbreak. Quantitative variables were analyzed for descriptive statistics while qualitative data were summarized into emerging themes. Nurse leaders played a key role in motivating nurses despite response hesitancy due to risk of infection. Ensuring compliance to infection prevention and control standards was a key responsibility for all nurse leaders. Challenges included their late involvement in planning for service delivery, lack of dedicated resources for performing supervisory functions and the absence of a nursing operational plan for COVID-19. The inability to provide for psychological needs of nurses and unclear incentives policy were important factors for the lack of motivation. Enhanced interprofessional collaboration, professional development in critical care nursing, change management and expanded partnerships with community organizations were among opportunities identified. The role of nurse leaders can be maximized by ensuring their early involvement in strategic planning. A funded operational plan inclusive of dedicated resources for monitoring and supervisory functions of the nurse leaders is indispensable. To sustain motivation, facilities for psychological support, medical care, mentoring and a clear policy on incentives are required, as well as, a continuous professional development programme that addresses competences in nursing leadership and critical care.

COVID-19 Medical-Religious Partnerships: Implementation of a Just-In-Time COVID-19 Training in Catholic Schools

et al. 2021

The concept of Just-In-Time Training (JITT) is to provide critical information specific to a public health crisis, allowing individuals to understand and respond to an urgent situation. The design of the JITT curriculum appropriate for school-aged children during the COVID-19 pandemic is vital, as every individual has a role to play in mitigating the spread of SARS-CoV-2. When working with various communities, considering culture and religion is essential, as aligning values and beliefs with the JITT curriculum’s objectives may significantly change the community’s behavior toward a public health crisis. In this narrative, we describe how a JITT curriculum for the COVID-19 pandemic, created in Maryland, US, and implemented in a Catholic school system, aligned with core Catholic social teachings. This alignment allowed for implementing and delivering the COVID-19 curriculum in Maryland’s Archdiocese Catholic school system, culminating in a medical-religious partnership that serves as a model for future public health crises.
