The covid-19 pandemic and the need for participation in policy making: insecure employment contracts

The ability of nurses to deliver high-quality nursing care is influenced by job stability. The COVID-19 outbreak has made the nurse deficit that has long plagued the Iranian healthcare sector worse. Despite being hailed as "heroes" all across the world, many nurses were hired under precarious work agreements. This opinion explains problems with Iranian nurses' employment contracts during the COVID-19 outbreak and proposes ways to make things better. Iranian nurses need stronger assistance in terms of job security and dignity because they are on the front lines of the war against COVID-19. They should take part in policymaking more in order to enhance their working conditions and stop the creation and implementation of unstable job contracts that result in job insecurity.
