RESUMEN
Introduction: The number of visits for routine or basic immunizations decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Basic immunization is essential to offer in order to lessen the likelihood of outbreaks of various other diseases that will cause many children to become seriously ill, become paralyzed, or die. In contrast to responding to outbreaks, prevention of diseases that can be prevented by immunization also saves lives, conserves resources, and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on healthcare systems is lessened. Nurses must understand why mothers choose to give their children the full range of the recommended basic vaccines. This study aims to describe the motivating factors for mothers to provide their children with basic immunizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The seven Steps Colaizzi analysis method was employed in this study's qualitative descriptive design with in-depth interviews with 10 individuals. Participants are mothers who bring their child to health care institutions for basic immunization during the COVID-19 pandemic and who are fluent in both oral and written Indonesian. Participants were obtained selected through a purposive sampling technique. Results: The findings of this study revealed two themes that reflected its goal. The two themes are intrinsic factors, such as social support, the health care system, and the COVID-19 dynamic;and intrinsic factors, such as the need for health, experience, perception, and knowledge. Conclusion: Several factors, both internal to the mother and external, can affect a mother's motivation to provide children with basic immunization during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESUMEN
COVID-19 pandemic raises various challenges faced by health workers in hospitals. This study explored strategies for overcoming challenges in caring for COVID-19 patients at hospitals in Indonesia based on healthcare workers' experience. In-depth interviews were employed with 28 healthcare workers (physicians and nurses) who were purposively sampled. Data were collected via phone and analysed using the Colaizzi method. Five following challenges were found: difficulties in working with personal protective equipment (PPE), offline training for handling Covid and using PPE not being implemented evenly for all health workers, physical and psychological fatigue, difficulties in carrying out health education and assessment towards patients and families, and limited resources to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, some barriers require support from the government, public and hospital managers. The information gained from research on the strategies for caring for COVID-19 patients can contribute to better preparedness for hospitals and health workers facing the COVID-19 pandemic.
