rgan transplantation is an effective procedure in saving the lives of patients with end-stage organ failure (López et al., 2018), which can lead to improving the recipients' quality of life (de Moraes et al., 2018); however, it remains limited because of the gap between organ access and the number of patients requiring it (López et al., 2018).The growing need for donor organs has become a major health concern in the world (Ahmadian et al., 2019). In April 2018, more than 114,000 people were on the waiting list for organ transplant in the United States whereas only 34,770 transplants were performed in 2017 (i.e., about 30% received the transplant). Moreover, according to this report, 20 patients waiting for transplant die daily (Division of Transplantation, Human Resources & Services Administration, 2018).Today, organ donation (OD) from the deceased donors is the most important source of human organs (López et al., 2018;Mojtabaee et al., 2018) and benefit from organs of the brain-dead person is Author Contributions: Both authors have been personally and actively involved in substantial work leading to the paper. Data collection was done by both, and they agreed on data categorization and labeling.
sociated with nurses' inability to achieve work-life balance and consequently with less attention to self-care and their own health. 6 Nurses' poor health can lead to impairments in job performance, interpersonal interaction, ability to document properly, response time in the event of emergency, and ability to provide patient care, 3,7 and even occurrence of medication errors. 8 All of these factors affect nurses' quality of care, absence, financial burden, job productivity, and patient safety. 3,7 Therefore, nowadays, many studies address the issue of nurses' health. Some of these studies identified high incidence of chronic diseases, poor eating habits, and high alcohol consumption as warning signs in this population. 9 In this regard, Phiri et al 10 showed that stressful work environments and shift work were associated with overweight and unhealthy food intake. Moreover, most nurses addressed backache, exposure to tuberculosis, and risk of chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, as their main health concerns in a previous study. 10 In general, the results of most studies on nurses' health revealed that nurses' health status was
