“…Compared to previous studies [44,45], this study suggests that nurses who work in Covid -19 wards working with patients with Covid-19 infection experienced an alarmingly higher level of complicated grief over the death of the patients. This finding may be explained more by the higher rate of deaths from Covid-19 in Iran (3.5% deaths of the overall total patients confirmed cases of Covid -19 until Mar 20 2022) [46], which could compromise the nurse's mental health due to their multiple exposures to death [21]. Although patient death is a common part of clinical nursing [47], frequent exposure to patients' death increase the probability of complicated or chronic grief among nurses [19] and decreases the quality of care delivered to patients [43].…”

“…Instead of enhancing data linking and data capturing capabilities, associated policy actions have placed a greater emphasis on the daily reporting of new cases and fatalities. The real number of illnesses and fatalities is believed to have been substantially greater than the daily statistics, despite the fact that they served as the primary criterion for mandating or loosening restriction measures 18 . Moreover, the main reason for the fewer decisions about digital data capturing and data linkage originated in the limited infrastructure capabilities of health information systems 19 …”

“…The Case Fatality Rate among understudy cases was 8.06 % was reported in February 2020 [16]. The total officially reported deaths directly related to COVID-19 in Iran between December 2019 and March 2022 was 139,610 deaths; while a study used statistical models and estimated deaths as being double this figure at 308,486 [17]. While a study in April 2020 used multivariable regression models and demonstrated rising odds of in-hospital death related with age (odds ratio (OR) = 1.055, p = 0.002), levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR = 2.915, p < 0.001), creatinine (OR = 1.740, p = 0.023), lymphocyte count (OR = 0.999, p = 0.008), and magnesium level (OR = 0.032, p < 0.001) on admission [18].…”
