Abstract
Since December 2020, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created many challenges for healthcare workers, especially nurses. Since nurses constitute 59% of healthcare workers worldwide, it’s necessary to pay attention to their needs as frontline fighters during COVID-19 pandemic. An extraordinary pressure is imposed on nurses due to the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is accompanied by an increase in workload, physical fatigue, disruption of the work-life balance, lack of personal protective equipment, and nurses' fear of being infected with COVID-19 themselves or their families. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most basic problems faced by nurses were their infection with COVID-19 and forced quarantine, and as a result, the effective activity and number of nurses in the departments affected by COVID-19 were reduced, which this issue led to an increase in workload on other nurses [1].
