Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the quality of nursing care in critical care units (CCUs) for patients with COVID-19. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 nurses working in CCUs at a teaching hospital in Tehran from June to December 2021. Nurses' performance in caring for COVID-19 patients was evaluated through a nursing care quality measurement scale. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21 software, and using t-tests, ANOVAs, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and regressions. Results: The study revealed that 68. 2% of nurses were female, and 67. 2% of patients were male. The mean quality of care score ranged from medium to high (125. 77±33. 73), with better care provided to male patients compared to female patients (p<0. 01). A significant negative correlation was observed between the quality of care and patients' age (r=-0. 40, p<0. 0001) as well as the number of monthly overtime hours worked (r=-0. 206, p=0. 03). Age and gender were identified as predictive variables for the quality of care (p<0. 05). Conclusion: The quality of care in CCUs for COVID-19 patients was rated as medium to high. Increasing the number of nurses during pandemic such as COVID-19 is essential to enhance the quality of care. Furthermore, training programs should be implemented to improve nurses' attitudes in COVID-19 wards, particularly towards caring for the elderly.
