20253 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

Despite challenges, most HCWs at the Hospital remained motivated. These findings emphasised the importance of technical and psychological support, such as mentoring and effective communication from upper-level supervisors, rather than financial incentives, in maintaining motivation among the HCWs. Comprehensive support systems are essential for sustaining HCWs' motivation during the pandemic, especially in resource-limited settings. Further research should address the long-term mental health effects and enhance HCWs' resilience in future health crises.
