Abstract Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose significant challenges to healthcare systems, requiring nurses and laboratory specialists to be adequately prepared. This qualitative study explored the training needs and challenges faced by nurses and laboratory specialists in managing EIDs at a tertiary hospital. Semi-structured interviews with 20 participants (10 nurses and 10 laboratory specialists) revealed three key themes: inadequate training programs, challenges in interdisciplinary collaboration, and recommendations for improving training. Findings highlighted gaps in pathogen-specific education, limited simulation-based training, and poor communication between disciplines. Participants emphasized the need for targeted, interdisciplinary training programs and real-time drills to enhance EID preparedness. These findings provide actionable insights for developing effective training interventions to improve healthcare professionals’ readiness for EID management.
Keywords Emerging infectious diseases, training needs, interdisciplinary collaboration, nurses, laboratory specialists, qualitative study, tertiary hospital.
