The objective of this research is to explore the perspectives of in-service healthcare providers on the enablers and barriers that influenced their e-learning in the CPE during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine, which was also impacted by the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. Ukraine constitutes a unique low- or middle-income country (LMIC) setting for a case study because the Ukrainian state currently addresses not only the complex effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but also the existential and military threats posed by the large-scale attack of the Russian Federation on the sovereign country of Ukraine since February 2022. This exploratory single-case study focused on the perceptions, personal experiences, views, and beliefs of adult learners, who were in-service healthcare providers, collected during in-depth interviews regarding the use of the e-learning system for their CPE through a prism of qualitative research methodology. The results of the study indicated that the cost-effectiveness, versatility, and accessibility of online courses were the enabling factors for e-learning use by healthcare practitioners, though the lack of time due to excessive workload, inability to interact with peer learners and instructors, or insufficient technical knowledge for navigating the e-learning platform were the barriers to such practice. This study ultimately develops a unique perspective on e-learning use by adult learners during the pandemic and large-scale military confrontation in Ukraine, suggesting research and practice implications for further improvement of e-learning solutions through additional technical orientation, digital literacy skill training, and technical support for learners; improved education program design; and further prevention of common sense of detachment and isolation among e-learners that could be achieved by multiple means.
