Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a newly emerging infectious disease that bringing a heavy workload on nursing staff. OBJECTIVE: This study explores the nurses’ experiences of providing ethical care for patients with COVID-19. METHODS: This qualitative study was carried out based on hermeneutic phenomenology. Unstructured interviews were conducted with 18 Iranian nurses. Data were analyzed based on the hermeneutic approach using the Diekelmann approach. RESULTS: Three themes emerged: strong clinical dilemma, flourishing of professional values, and strengthening human and organizational communication. CONCLUSION: The findings highlight ethical care and its dimensions for COVID-19 patients. Nurses need support from health managers to provide ethical care in such health crises.
