Resumen
Introduction: Colombian healthcare workers faced typical challenges posed by the pandemic, compounded by additional factors. Consequently, emergency interventions were necessary to mitigate the pandemic's impact on healthcare personnel. Methods: We conducted a mixed study at the Hospital Militar Central in Bogotá, Colombia between July and October 2021. Objective: To investigate the potential effects of the Snoezelen multisensory room intervention on the discomfort perception of a group of health workers in COVID areas at the Hospital Militar Central, Bogotá, Colombia. Results: A statistically significant decrease (p=0.001) in stress levels was observed after the intervention, as demonstrated by differences in pre- and post-intervention measurements (median, IQR). Qualitative analysis revealed that this improvement in discomfort perception was often attributed to the intervention, with some participants transitioning from negative emotions (e.g., sadness, anxiety, and pain) to relaxation and peace. Conclusions: This study's primary contribution is the ability to conduct research in practice and the creative use of existing resources to address emerging problems.
