Background: Individual and personality traits significantly influence the professional and clinical performance of healthcare professionals. This impact is particularly crucial during outbreaks of infectious diseases and health crises. In recent years, many medical professionals lost their lives while striving to maintain and restore the health of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to identify the moral, spiritual, and cultural characteristics of healthcare martyrs who served during the COVID-19 outbreak in Iran.
Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach and grounded theory methodology. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 relatives of health martyrs, selected through a combination of random and purposive sampling methods. Data analysis was carried out using conventional content analysis. To enhance the validity, reliability, and trustworthiness of the research findings, the criteria established by Lincoln and Guba were followed.
Results: The findings of the study indicated that the martyrs who defended health possessed exceptional moral qualities. Additionally, these individuals exhibited spiritual qualities, such as detachment from material possessions. Following the martyrdom of their loved ones, the relatives experienced feelings of separation and sadness. They also expressed dissatisfaction with the oversimplified perspective on the dangers of disease in society and the mismanagement surrounding it.
Conclusion: Health policymakers should focus on the personality model of health defenders to create a solid foundation for strengthening and developing committed human resources within the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education.
Keywords: COVID-19, Cultural Characteristics, Health Personnel, Moral Obligations
