The voice of nurses did not hear anyone; They go quietly
Estimates show that nearly 5,000 to 6,000 nurses are currently home or cracking throughout Iran, either unable to migrate or are reluctant to return to treatment.
Over the past five years, nurses have had a bitter and shocking narrative. Kuch of more than 6,000 nurses around the world sounded the alarm of the migration of specialist forces; A danger that has targeted the economic, social, and even psychological dimensions of that society. This accelerated process is, of course, only one side of the story, the other is the crisis that appears in the official statistics of nurses' suicide. Statistics, according to the Official Statistics Center, is estimated at about six times the suicide rate among ordinary people in the community; The figure itself is the echo of despair and the overwhelming job pressures for this group of health defenders.
During Corona's epidemic, when patients were numerous and the height of the global need for treatment, Iran also faced an attack on nursing migration requests. The number of migrations in this period was 2 percent more than previous periods, and two -thirds of the applicant nurses chose Denmark as a destination, but the wave has now subsided. The post -Corona destination countries have reached the saturation of the nursing force and the admission has declined, as the volume of migration to these countries experiences a significant decline, but is the decline in statistics a reflection of improving the status of Iranian nurses?
In recent years, experts have repeatedly warned of the severe shortage of nurse's human resources, but as much as the human resources crisis have been emphasized, the recruitment process has been stopped or ineffective. Nurses who were at the forefront of hospitals and carried out all the treatment in the Corona crisis today speak of unfair reception.
Their income of about $ 1 to $ 5 million and the workers that are not paid, or their figure even barely gives them the cost of their efforts. The short -term short -term contracts that were closed during the Corona era to attract nurses did not only create job security, but today many of these nurses, after the end of those contracts, are home or unemployed or have to leave the field in the shadow of coercion or heavy work hours.
Estimates show that nearly 5,000 to 6,000 nurses are currently home or cracking throughout Iran, either unable to migrate or are reluctant to return to treatment.
About 2 to 5 nurses are also running the job annually, indicating that even the preservation of existing human resources has become a huge problem. Some have taken refuge in second jobs; At night, the driver becomes a snap or has turned to part -time, and many have only fulfilled the hope and wish of better days in immigration and abandonment.
To what extent is the statistics of nurses' migration reduction? In the search for the truth of immigration and the bitter realities of the Iranian nursing community, in a news release released by the Ministry of Health to reduce the migration of physicians and treatment staff in the second half of the year, the atmosphere of hope- though fragile and unstable- spread to the Iranian health system, but what was the reality behind this. Does these numbers reflect the tangible truth of the field or is it the only way to showcase paper improvements and calm the minds of the general public?
Dr. Mohammad Sharifi Moghaddam, the secretary -general of the nurse's house, cited the unrealistic statistics on the reduction of nurses' migration to the world of industry, saying that the statistics have no facts except an attempt to induce satisfaction in the nursing community and display the achievements that exist only on paper. Policymakers are trying to pretend that with the improvement of the nurses' conditions, immigration statistics have declined. Not only the main problems have not been resolved, however, but the nurses' occupational hazards and risks have increased in compared to last year. None of the main reasons for immigration, such as low receipts, workers' dissatisfaction and managerial pressures, and the inflammation of the nursing community remain.
Sharifi Moghaddam said in an interview: "There has been a wave of public discontent among nurses, so that it is now estimated that about 2 to 6,000 nurses are practically housewives." These people are either unable to migrate or want to return to hospitals because of the current situation.
He added that between 2 and 5 nurses leave jobs annually, a number that shows that even the preservation of manpower in the health system has become a serious problem in the country. He reiterated that the body of the nursing community has remained suspended as a wave between three paths of immigration, abandonment of jobs and wandering.
The Nursing House Secretary -General criticized the Ministry of Health: "Not only has there been no clear and practical support plan to repair and improve the status of nurses, but policies have mainly led to increased strictness, intensification of regulatory and management pressures and security even for nurses." Instead of rooting the problems, the face is erased, and with the sudden change of contracts, the reduction of work and legal pressures through courts and violations, the nursing community has become more and more tired.
