        Aim(s): The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a dreadful health crisis globally. The adverse impacts on Asian women, including those in Hong Kong, are considerable. Hong Kong community women"s pressure is immense due to traditional, cultural, social, familial, and personal responsibilities. We aimed to illustrate the impact of COVID-19 on Hong Kong women"s health and quality of life. Method(s): An interpretive phenomenological approach was used in this study. Chinese females over 18, living in Hong Kong, who could understand Cantonese, were invited for semi-structured face-to-face, in-depth interviews. Data were collected from August 2020 onwards after the "third wave" of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, one of the most severe waves. The audio-taped individual interviews were transcribed. Data analysis was concurrent with data collection until data saturation. The thematic analysis was adopted to understand and interpret the participants" experiences through interviews accurately. Result(s): Twenty-five women participated in the study, with ages ranging from 25-69. Three were single, 15 were married, six were separated/divorced, and one was widowed. Individual interviews with an average duration of 48 minutes. Three major themes identified were deterioration of personal health, unfavorable to human relationships, adaptation to external challenges. Eight subthemes have emerged: emotional and psychological distress, caregiver role fatigue and exhaustion, social activities avoidance, regrets of unfulfilled filial responsibilities, unhealthy marital relationship, tension among parent-child relationship, environmental and household hygiene practices changes, financial loss due to underemployment/unemployment/ resignation. Impacts were intensified among those women with a family caregiver role, low family monthly income, or low educational levels. Conclusion(s): The study demonstrated significant health impacts and quality of life challenges on Hong Kong women"s requiring extra attention and support from the local government, non-governmental organizations, and healthcare professionals. Promotion of strategies or activities that could enhance the women"s physical, psychological, emotional, social, financial, self-confidence, and quality of life are recommended.
