“…4 Moreover, national laws needed to support medical staff were only partially implemented or not implemented at all. The ratio of nurses and nurse aid staff per hospital bed is approximately 0•8-1•0 per bed 6 (compared with the standard of 3•0 nurses per bed and 4•0 nurse aid staff per bed). 7 Considering how seriously a nurse's heavy workload affects patients' health outcomes, the government must take measures immediately to compensate for the shortage of hospital staff.…”

Background: Clinical care and nursing skills are important issues that can influence the efficacy of treatment, the health of patients, and medical errors. The aim of this study was to investigate the readiness of medical staff in the field of effectiveness and evaluation of clinical care and nursing skills. Materials and methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed on 99 medical staff working in hospitals from August 2020 to December 2021. The instrument used was a checklist for the effectiveness and evaluation of clinical care based on the findings of the nursing reports. Data were analyzed by statistical software. Results: The mean age of nurses was 37.5 years. Among the participants, 16.3% were male and 85.7% were female; 56.6% of nurses had completed clinical care. The overall performance of nurses in drug-related care and nursing processes was observed to be acceptable. Nurses were successful in performing many aspects of the nursing processes of repulsion, absorption, and dressing and showed good preparation. In relation to gavage, a high percentage of nurses performed the procedure well. However, in some cases, such as medication-related care, handwashing, and the use of personal protective equipment, where there is a possibility of touching the blood or other body fluids of the patients, the performance of nurses was moderate. Conclusion: The findings of this research demonstrated that there are limitations, strengths, and weaknesses in terms of some aspects such as medication, care and nursing processes, compliance with standards, and infection control, which can be considered to improve the performance of nurses in the future.

“…Home care can have some advantages (Aminizadeh et al 2021). In a study conducted by Barasteh et al (2021) on the advantages of developing home health care in Iran, it was concluded that economic, social, and family advantages for patients, family and health system are among the benefits of home care, and home care strengthens solidarity in families, community and the health system and improves the quality of life of patients, community health and reduces health costs. Home care increases patient and family satisfaction and leads to an increase in the quality of services provided and a reduction in complications resulting from hospital processes (Raeisi et al 2020).…”

Introduction: COVID-19 has drastic effects on both patients and their caregivers, so that they experience great problems. Hence, the present study was performed with the aim of explaining the home care experiences of patients with COVID-19. Material and methods: This qualitative study was performed with the conventional content analysis approach and 16 primary caregivers of patients with COVID-19 who had undergone the acute phase of the disease were selected by the purposive sampling method. This study was conducted from 1 July 2020 to 1 March 2021. Data collection was performed by unstructured interviews, and data analysis was performed based on five steps of Graneheim and Lundman. Results: From data analysis, 383 initial codes were extracted, which were obtained by continuous comparison and integration of subcategories of 6 main categories, i.e. fear, sincere care, quarantine atmosphere, paradoxical cyberspace, risk taking and positive care achievements. Conclusions: Although home care was associated with problems and difficulties for caregivers, it ultimately brought caregivers a sense of inner satisfaction with this type of care and brought them positive results. Therefore, health professionals in such situations can provide the necessary training to reduce the difficulties of care and on the other hand, with proper planning, the ability of family members to care for patients and reduce the burden of care for medical staff.
