Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has exposed nurses to a rapidly changing patient care practice. This study explored nurses' experiences in caring for COVID-19 patients.
Eighteen nurses, head nurses, and clinical supervisors employed in one of the hospitals affiliated to the Shahid Beheshti Medical University to participate in this qualitative content analysis study. Data were collected through interviews and field notes. The data were analyzed with conventional content analysis.
Data analysis of nurses' experiences with respect to COVID-19 patients resulted in the extraction of information on 5 major categories: "security in care-giving," "healing hands, empty hands," "mental and physical problems," "multiple feelings," and "self-reassurance" and 11 subcategories.
We found that giving care to COVID-19 patients entailed complex, intermingled, and interrelated physical, mental, and emotional aspects that underwent changes over time so that it can be called "journey of nursing in COVID-19 crisis." The findings of this study further revealed that nurses' experiences, feelings, and thoughts underwent modifications gradually, over time. They believed that they have undergone development in caregiving and experienced deeper aspects of nursing care.
2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行使护士面临迅速变化的患者护理实践。本研究探讨了护士护理COVID-19患者的经历。
设拉子医科大学附属的一家医院的18名护士、护士长和临床主管参与了这项定性内容分析研究。通过访谈和实地记录收集数据。采用常规内容分析法对数据进行分析。
对护士护理COVID-19患者经历的数据分析得出了5个主要类别和11个子类别的信息，5个主要类别为：“护理安全”、“治愈之手，空手而归”、“身心问题”、“多种感受”和“自我安慰”。
我们发现，护理COVID-19患者涉及复杂、交织和相互关联的身体、心理和情感方面，这些方面会随着时间而变化，因此可以称之为“COVID-19危机中的护理之旅”。本研究结果进一步表明，护士的经历、感受和想法会随着时间逐渐发生变化。他们认为自己在护理方面有所成长，并体验到了护理工作更深层次的方面。
