Medical and Ethical Challenges in Caring for Covid 19 Patients

The present study was performed to determine the ethical issues of medical care in Covid 19 disease. The steps were done in such a way that one of the researchers examined the search criteria among the articles and the criteria for including and deleting articles based on their titles and abstracts. In the second stage, the titles were reviewed. Out of 5833 retrieved articles, 5421 were retained after the repetition of duplicates. 201 cases were deleted due to insufficient data reporting, and 1059 cases were deleted due to poor quality. Finally, 153 articles were eligible. Only 20 articles of the studied articles had full text and related to the field of research card. In the third stage, the articles were searched manually; all libraries of Zahedan medical universities were examined, but no new ones were added by deleting articles that did not meet the inclusion criteria; the full text of all articles that met the inclusion criteria was reviewed. Then, their results were extracted according to the investigated factors and provided to two other researchers for reviewing. The quality of the studies was assessed through the STROBE checklist (14). In this systematic review, the articles that met the inclusion criteria were studied and analyzed. Excluded from all retrieved articles were studies that had unspecified sample size and implementation, or articles whose full text was not available. Finally, 20 cases were reviewed and analyzed. To extract the data, two experienced researchers simultaneously reviewed and analyzed the articles.
