Therefore, this study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of nurses caring for patients with COVID-19 in Iran. We performed a qualitative descriptive phenomenological study to discover and interpret the meaning of nurses' lived experiences caring for patients with COVID-19. The participants included those nurses who cared for the patients with COVID-19 in hospitals at the Coronavirus Center in Iran. Analysis of the nurses' experiences caring for patients with COVID-19 by descriptive phenomenology revealed three main themes: mental condition, emotional condition, and care context (Table 4 ). This study has explored the lived experiences of nurses caring for patients with COVID-19 in designated treatment centres in Iran. ./cache/cord-340164-vzdyy656.txt ./txt/cord-340164-vzdyy656.txt
