Abstract

L’articolo studia l’esperienza del personale delle Residenze Sanitarie Assistenziali (RSA) in Italia, durante la pandemia da Covid-19. Gli autori hanno analizzato i risultati di un focus group che ha coinvolto gli operatori di quattro RSA.
La ricerca suggerisce la presenza di forze contrapposte che hanno caratterizzato il cambiamento organizzativo: a) la necessità di un costante lavoro di squadra vs l’indisponibilità di alcuni colleghi durante le fasi più acute dell’emergenza; b) la difficoltà di riorganizzare il lavoro vs il coordinamento tra RSA; c) la fatica psicologica vs la disponibilità ad andare oltre i propri compiti, d) le emozioni negative (es. ansia, paura, rabbia e impotenza) vs le emozioni positive (disponibilità a svolgere diversi turni e lavoro di squadra).
