Objective:The main objective of this study was to explore factors affecting missed nursing care in oncology units from the perspective of nurse managers.Methods:Twenty nurse managers working at oncology units of referral teaching hospitals in Iran participated in this study. Data were collected through individual face-to-face and telephonic interviews using an interview guide. Focus groups were also conducted. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis.Results:System structure, underlying factors, and barriers to missed-care reports were identified as factors that affect missed nursing care.Conclusions:Nurse managers should reduce the effects of nursing staff shortages and increased workloads in addition to providing materials and equipment. They need to distribute experienced staff according to the type of ward or patients' needs. Nurse managers should create a favorable environment for reporting missed nursing care by having an open relationship with nurses by teaching and emphasizing nursing practice. Moreover, using a nonpunitive managerial approach and minimizing the use of an apathetic management style can be helpful.

Introduction
The major burden of the COVID‐19 pandemic has been mainly on healthcare workers (HCWs) and as a result many of them have been afflicted with the disease thus far.
Purpose
The present study was an effort to investigate Tehran University of Medical Sciences HCWs' experiences of COVID‐19 during the pandemic in Tehran, Iran.
Methods
This study is essentially a conventional qualitative content analysis. Twenty‐six HCWs (including 7 physicians, 16 nurses, and 3 physiotherapists) were purposefully selected to participate in the study. The data were collected from April 2020 to January 2021 through semi‐structured face‐to‐face interviews. The interviews were transcribed and then analyzed based on the Graneheim and Lundman method using MAXQDA 12.
Results
Based on the qualitative content analysis which resulted in 364 initial codes, three themes and eight subthemes were extracted. The extracted themes were “support,” “control,” and “improvement.”
Conclusions
HCWs are in close contact with COVID‐19 patients as part of their professional careers and the provision of quality patient care in times of crises is unattainable unless HCWs enjoy support and their own health is maintained. Making institutional, national, and international preparations for their protection is an obligation.
