This study aimed to explore the factors involved in Iranian nurses' health-seeking behavior. In this qualitative exploratory descriptive study, 15 nurses from hospitals affiliated to Iran and Qazvin University of Medical Sciences were interviewed from April to March 2020. Data were collected via purposive sampling by unstructured in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings identified 5 main themes, "fear," "trust/distrust," "excuse," "accessibility," and "support" that were involved in nurses' health-seeking behavior. The findings of this study may contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors involved in nurses' health-seeking behavior and pave the way for further research and policy making regarding nursing workforce health.
本研究旨在探讨伊朗护士寻求医疗服务行为的相关因素。在这项定性探索性描述研究中，2020 年 4 月至 3 月期间，我们对来自伊朗和卡齐凡医科大学附属医院的 15 名护士进行了访谈。通过非结构化深入访谈，采用主题分析法对数据进行了收集。研究结果确定了 5 个主要主题，分别为“恐惧”、“信任/不信任”、“借口”、“可及性”和“支持”，这些主题均与护士寻求医疗服务行为有关。本研究结果可能有助于更深入地了解护士寻求医疗服务行为的相关因素，并为进一步研究和制定护理人员健康政策铺平道路。
