In November 2018, the United States withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal, and imposed severe sanctions on Iran. This study explores the impact of US sanctions in Iran's health research system.
This phenomenological study interviewed 24 Iranian health science scholars through purposeful sampling to learn about their experiences and thoughts regarding the impact of US sanctions on Iran's health research system.
The impact of sanctions on Iran's health research system were classified into five categories: () financial issues, () difficulty in supplying laboratory materials and () equipment, () disruption in international research collaboration and activities, and () other issues (e.g., increased stress and workload).
This study indicated that since research centers in Iran are highly dependent on governmental budgets, sanctions have greatly affected the health research system in Iran. Financial and economic problems, restrictions in transferring funds, and the disruption in political and international relations have created many challenges for supplying medical laboratory materials and equipment for medical and health research centers in Iran.
2018 年 11 月，美国退出联合全面行动计划（JCPOA），俗称伊朗核协议，并对伊朗实施严厉制裁。本研究探讨了美国制裁对伊朗卫生研究系统的影响。
本现象学研究通过目的性抽样采访了 24 名伊朗卫生科学学者，了解他们对美国制裁对伊朗卫生研究系统影响的经验和想法。
制裁对伊朗卫生研究系统的影响分为五类：（一）财务问题，（二）供应实验室材料和设备的困难，（三）国际研究合作和活动的中断，以及（四）其他问题（例如，增加的压力和工作量）。
本研究表明，由于伊朗的研究中心高度依赖政府预算，制裁对伊朗的卫生研究系统产生了重大影响。财务和经济问题、资金转移限制以及政治和国际关系的中断，给伊朗医学和卫生研究中心的医疗实验室材料和设备供应带来了许多挑战。
