abstract: 'Introduction: the provision of quality health care during the COVID-19
pandemic depends largely on the health of health care providers. Health
care providers'' as frontline caregivers dealing with infected patients
play a significant role in limiting the outbreak of the disease by
implementing safety and prevention practices. However, low and middle
-income countries experience barriers to preparedness due to limited
resources. Methods: an institutional-based cross-sectional study was
conducted among 326 health care providers'' from August 10-25, 2021 in
Gurage zonal public hospitals. A simple random sampling technique was
used to select the study participants. A pretested self-administered
structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The data
were entered into the Epi-data 3.1 and exported to Statistical package
for the social sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 for analysis. Both
descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were presented.
Results: this study showed that 53.1\%, of health care providers'', had
adequate preparation against COVID-19 pandemics. The finding showed that
monthly income, occupation, and working experience were found to be
significantly associated with health care providers'' preparedness.
Nearly one-quarter (24.8\%), 28.3\%, 34.5\%, and 39.8\% of health care
providers had access to facemasks, alcohol sanitizer, glove, and
isolation gowns respectively. Conclusion: the levels of health care
providers'' preparedness and health care protection against the third
wave COVID-19 pandemic were found to be low. Based on our findings, the
government and other stakeholders should design interventions to
increase health care providers'' preparedness to respond to the ongoing
pandemic and purchase an adequate supply of personal protective
equipment to protect the health care providers.'
