Abstract

Background

The physical, psychological, and social effects of the earthquake affect a person's functionality directly. It challenges individuals because it is often traumatizing, intense fear is experienced, and it is unpredictable, uncontrollable, and destructive. Nurses are one of the professional groups that have important duties in social disasters, and they are constantly exposed to the details of the traumatic situation, sometimes physically and sometimes by listening. To understand the severity of the trauma caused by this exposure, it is important to understand the emotions and thoughts that nurses feel while caring for earthquake victims.

Aims

This study was planned to reveal the perceptions of nurses, who were themselves earthquake victims, regarding caring for earthquake victims through metaphors.

Methods

This study was conducted as a phenomenological study with a qualitative research approach, in a province affected by the earthquake, with 85 surgical clinic nurses who were also earthquake victims and cared for earthquake victims.

Results

The metaphors produced were examined together with their reasons and grouped under 3 categories (positive, negative, both positive and negative).

Conclusions

As a result, when the metaphors used by earthquake victims are evaluated, the effects of nurses being earthquake victims themselves can be seen in the metaphors. It is revealed through metaphors that nurses' earthquake-related traumas are triggered while caring for earthquake victims.

外科护士对护理地震灾民的比喻性认识
背景地震对身体、心理和社会的影响直接影响到一个人的功能。地震给人们带来的挑战包括:创伤、强烈的恐惧感、不可预测、不可控制和破坏性。护士是在社会灾难中承担重要职责的专业群体之一,他们经常接触到创伤情况的细节,有时是身体接触,有时是通过倾听。为了了解这种接触所造成的创伤的严重性,了解护士在照顾地震灾民时的情感和想法非常重要。本研究计划通过隐喻揭示本身是地震灾民的护士对照顾地震灾民的看法。方法本研究是一项现象学研究,采用定性研究方法,在一个受地震影响的省份进行,85 名外科诊所护士也是地震灾民,并护理过地震灾民。结论对地震灾民使用的隐喻进行评估时,可以从隐喻中看出护士本身是地震灾民的影响。通过隐喻可以看出,护士在护理地震灾民时引发了与地震有关的创伤。
