Abstract

Aims

This study aims to reveal the violent experiences of nurses working in the emergency department and the meanings they attribute to them.

Methods

This research was conducted as narrative inquiry and interpretive phenomenology and recruited 15 nurses. Interviews with nurses actively working in the emergency department and who had been exposed to violence by patients or their relatives were conducted with a semi-structured interview form. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist was used.

Results

In the study, three themes were determined (1) Unpredictable event, (2) Interminable effects of violence, and (3) Like a bottomless pit. With seven sub-themes.

Conclusions

This study underlined that violence applied to nurses by patients or relatives of patients in the emergency department is an unexpected situation that causes negative emotions. Violence affects all aspects of life and limits communication with the patient. Coping with a violent situation is challenging for nurses, and they demand support from the management.

"在急诊科工作不是一份工作，它就像一场战争"，对土耳其急诊科护士经历的暴力事件进行叙事调查和解释现象学研究。

目的：本研究旨在揭示在急诊科工作的护士的暴力经历以及她们赋予这些经历的意义：本研究以叙事调查和解释现象学的方式进行，共招募了 15 名护士。采用半结构化访谈形式，对在急诊科工作的护士进行了访谈，这些护士都曾遭受过病人或其亲属的暴力侵害。研究采用了定性研究报告综合标准（COREQ）清单：研究确定了三个主题（1）不可预知的事件；（2）暴力的间歇性影响；（3）像个无底洞。结论：本研究强调，急诊科病人或病人亲属对护士施暴是一种会引起负面情绪的意外情况。暴力会影响生活的方方面面，并限制与病人的交流。应对暴力情况对护士来说具有挑战性，她们需要管理层的支持。
