    (Nobel Ilac, 2022) Uludag, Ayhan; Safak, Kerem
    Objective: The aim of the study was to identify the important roles in public health that dormitories, which act as a kind of hospital during COVID-19 pandemic, have fulfilled during COVID-19 pandemic. Also, it was aimed to develop recommendations based on existing experiences for making dormitories more readily available and more useful in managing similar major outbreaks. Material and Method: Since this study was qualitative in nature, the sample size was not determined at the outset of the study. The population of the study included 17 volunteers from 365 individuals who were quarantined in a dormitory between 5th and 20th April 2020. In-depth interview was used to collect data and content analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Results: The views of those who stay in dormitory-hospitals on the management of COVID-19 pandemic were generally positive. However; the majority of participants stated that they would prefer to stay at home if it was possible, instead of staying at dormitory. Moreover; most of participants stated that they were bored during their stay. High dormitory standards might be a reason for high satisfaction of participants, as well as the fear of COVID-19. Conclusion: The present findings showed that dormitories can provide health care services by organizing as dormitory-hospital at times of quarantine. It was seen that the burden of dormitory-hospitals on the existing health system has been very limited. It was recommended to make the necessary arrangements for the detection of appropriate dormitories on the basis of provinces and the use of them at times of outbreaks.
