The present study explores the quality of hospital services during the New Year holiday. Subjects and methods: Purposeful semi-structured interviews with 27 nurses working in teaching hospitals of Kerman University of Medical Sciences on the basis of inclusion criteria were used to collect the data. Content analysis through the 7-step Colaizzi approach was used for data analysis. Results: Eight subthemes under three themes of increased number of patients, factors relating to human resources, and hospital factors were used to assess hospital services status during the Iranian New year holiday. Conclusion: During long holidays, hospitals are faced with a reduction in manpower and increase in workload, which along with lack of adequate supervision often may lead to an increase in medical errors. Thus, long holidays can be regarded as a risk factor for hospital mortality and morbidity. Hospital authorities around the world should arrange actions in order to reduce the effects. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
