- Abstract
Significant sociopolitical changes in recent decades have not only influenced the nursing profession, but also the entire Ira nian healthcare system. This study describes the historical evolution of the nursing profession within a sociopolitical context. This historical review of unpublished and published literature endorsed personal accounts of historic events by 14 of the old est nu rses in Iran chosen through purposive sampling method, as they shared their nursing experiences. Individual recollections were collected through in - depth and semi - structured interviews and later analyzed through oral history analysis method. From the resu lts, the 3 categories of the White Revolution, the Islamic Revolution, and Iran - Iraq war and 8 subcategories emerged, where participants identified factors that fundamentally changed the Iranian nursing profession. The nursing profession continues to deve lop and help revise policies to improve the healthcare system and quality of care. The findings of this study facilitate the better understanding of the influence of sociopolitical events on the nursing professio n and guide the revision or development of n ew healthcare policies.
