dc.description.abstractAs a global phenomenon impacting societies, pandemics cause changes in work routines as well as in social life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a significant change in the work routines of healthcare professionals whose private lives were also affected. Especially the way parents perceive and explain the pandemic to their children has been important for children to understand the disease and take precautions accordingly. This study aims to examine the health workers' perceptions of the pandemic and their communication styles with their children during this process. In this regard, this study undertakes a qualitative approach following a phenomenological research design by conducting in-depth interviews with thirty participants, who are medical professionals actively working in a health institution, and are parenting at least one child between the ages of six and eighteen. The field research data shows that health professionals relate COVID-19 disease to biological weapons, the global economic system, and wild animals. In addition, the research also reveals that, during the pandemic, healthcare professionals used mainly a dialogue-based empathetic, approving, inclusive and direct form of communication with their children.
