Nurses and Midwives Are on the COVID-19 Frontline: Spiritual Care Matters

Nurses and midwives are at higher risk of various infections than the general population because they are in direct contact with patients (1). This issue is considered in their education tutorials, with special emphasis on selfcare (2). The recent pandemic has significantly increased the risk of both infection and mortalityamonghealth staff, especially nurses and midwives. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a highly contagious and rapidly growing virus that carries high mortality with no drug or vaccine. The workload of nurses and midwives who are at the frontline of coping with Covid-19 has increased significantly so that they do not have enough time for their daily activities or mental well-being (3). Hence, Covid-19 is a major threat to the health and lives of nurses and midwives.
