The aim of this study was to explain the managerial competencies of healthcare staff to discount the number of martyrs and injuries of injured people (veterans) in the Iran-Iraq war.
Contributors & Methods: This qualitative study was carried out using the conventional content analysis method in 2018-2019. 119 written narratives of 101 healthcare staff, in the area of providing therapeutic care to martyrs and veterans, were collected and simultaneously analyzed. Principles of qualitative data analysis were used for data analysis.
