During the course of field observations for an ethnographic study of home care nurses' job stress, Hurricane Hugo struck the community, causing extensive damage. The nurses' office building was heavily damaged by wind and water, and their office was not habitable for almost a week. The author had observed the nurses' work practices over 10 weeks before the hurricane. In the aftermath of the storm, the nurses were simultaneously disaster victims and caregivers for other victims. They experienced grief, anger, and frustration about their losses, as well as conflict between their family- and work-related responsibilities. Their experiences and behaviors were consistent with those described in prior disaster research literature, lending further support to the earlier studies. A major asset for these nurses was their open, supportive work environment. They were able to accept and affirm one another's negative feelings and to provide support to each other as they dealt with their losses.
在一项关于家庭护理护士工作压力的人种学研究的实地观察过程中，“雨果”飓风袭击了该社区，造成了广泛破坏。护士办公大楼遭到风雨重创，他们的办公室近一周都无法居住。在飓风来临前，作者已经对护士的工作实践进行了10周的观察。风暴过后，护士们既是灾难受害者，又是其他受害者的护理人员。他们对自己的损失感到悲伤、愤怒和沮丧，同时在家庭责任和工作职责之间也存在冲突。他们的经历和行为与先前灾难研究文献中所描述的一致，为早期研究提供了进一步的支持。对这些护士来说，一个主要的有利因素是他们开放、相互支持的工作环境。他们能够接受并肯定彼此的负面情绪，并在应对损失时相互支持。
