The global outbreak of coronavirus in 2020 was considered as a serious risk for healthcare providers, especially nurses. This study aimed to investigate nurses' perceptions and experiences of COVID-19 outbreak in Iran.
This thematic analysis study was conducted in March 2020.
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 nurses in Qazvin, Arak, Shiraz and Kashan cities of Iran.
It was found out that all the participants had faced a mysterious world created by the virus. No one had clear understanding of the new virus and knew how to tackle with such a virus. In this case, the main experiences were related to defected preparedness, the worst perceived risk, family protection, social stigma and sacrificial commitment. Urgent preparedness of facilities in such outbreaks is inevitable. Accordingly, psycho-social support of nurses and their families and strengthening their sacrificial commitments are proposed in these conditions.
2020年冠状病毒在全球的爆发被认为对医疗服务提供者，尤其是护士构成严重风险。本研究旨在调查伊朗护士对新冠疫情的认知和经历。
本主题分析研究于2020年3月进行。
对伊朗加兹温、阿拉克、设拉子和卡尚市的24名护士进行了半结构式访谈。
发现所有参与者都面临着由病毒创造的一个神秘世界。没有人对这种新病毒有清晰的认识，也不知道如何应对这样一种病毒。在这种情况下，主要经历与准备不足、感知到的最大风险、家庭保护、社会污名和牺牲精神有关。在此类疫情中，设施的紧急准备是不可避免的。因此，建议在这些情况下对护士及其家人提供心理社会支持，并强化他们的牺牲精神。
