Since December 2020, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created many challenges for healthcare work-ers, especially nurses. Since nurses constitute 59% of healthcare workers worldwide, it’s necessary to pay attention to their needs as frontline fighters during COVID-19 pandemic. An extraordi-nary pressure is imposed on nurses due to the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is accompanied by an increase in workload, physical fatigue, disruption of the work-life balance, lack of personal protective equipment, and nurses' fear of being infected with COVID-19 themselves or their families.
