AB  - BACKGROUND: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that can 
      result from direct or indirect contact with traumatic events. The current study 
      aimed to evaluate PTSD and its related factors in nurses caring for COVID-19 
      patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a descriptive correlational 
      study. Using convenience sampling methods, 395 nurses were enrolled in the study. 
      The study instruments included demographic information, Impact of Event 
      Scale-Revised (IES-R), and General Health and Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ). 
      Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test, t-test, ANOVA, and 
      multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: The mean (SD) age and work experience of 
      the participants were 33.79 (6.74) years and 9.47 (6.47) years, respectively. 
      Most nurses (86.60%) experienced PTSD. Multiple linear regression results showed 
      general health (R (2) = 0.51, p = 0.001), job insecurity (R (2) = 0.51, p = 
      0.042), decision latitude (R (2) = 0.51, p = 0.037), and high age (R (2) = 0.51, 
      p = 0.049) to be associated with an increase in PTSD, and having high social 
      support (R (2) = 0.51, p = 0.043) was associated with a decrease in PTSD in 
      nurses. CONCLUSIONS: Nurses have experienced high levels of PTSD after the fatal 
      outbreak of COVID-19 disease. Stressful conditions associated with an increased 
      likelihood of this disorder should be identified, and coping skills such as 
      decision latitude (control) and social support should be strengthened to prevent 
      the symptoms of this disorder in nurses.
