This paper is a report of a study to explore the nature of military nursing in an environment of war, in particular the union of personal, professional and organizational tenets and to identify the actual or potential effect this had on the nursing role in this unique environment.
The history of nursing is intrinsically linked with war. There is an irony to this relationship. Active involvement with military activities has provided a vehicle in which nursing has developed, albeit through fostering war, which itself destroys health and contravenes the ethos of nursing. Military nurses, one would assume, are able to reconcile the dichotomy existing between their caring role and being a member of an organization associated with conflict.
A grounded theory design was adopted and the data were collected from 1999 to 2002 using a series of in-depth interviews and focus group with of 24 military nurses.
Three categories were identified: 'It's Just Different Levels', 'That Double Hat' and 'It's Who We Are!' The first illustrates the reality of conflict. 'That Double Hat' outlines the military nurses dual role: those of caring and the military. 'It's Who We Are!' demonstrates the transition from nurse-to-warrior. These integrate to create the core category: 'Caring for War: Transition to Warrior'.
The symbiotic relationship of carer and warrior arises as a consequence of strategies used by military nurses to embrace their dual role. Further research is needed to explore the essence of the caring role within a conflict zone from military and civilian perspectives.
本文是一项研究报告，旨在探讨战争环境下军事护理的本质，特别是个人、专业和组织原则的结合，并确定这对这种独特环境下的护理角色产生的实际或潜在影响。
护理的历史与战争有着内在联系。这种关系颇具讽刺意味。积极参与军事活动为护理发展提供了一种途径，尽管是通过助长战争来实现的，而战争本身会破坏健康且违背护理的精神。人们会认为，军事护士能够调和其护理角色与作为冲突相关组织一员之间存在的二分法。
采用扎根理论设计，于1999年至2002年通过对24名军事护士进行一系列深度访谈和焦点小组讨论来收集数据。
确定了三个类别：“只是不同层面”“那顶双重帽子”和“这就是我们！”第一个类别说明了冲突的现实。“那顶双重帽子”概述了军事护士的双重角色：护理角色和军事角色。“这就是我们！”展示了从护士到战士的转变。这些类别整合形成核心类别：“关爱战争：向战士的转变”。
护理者与战士的共生关系是军事护士用以接受其双重角色的策略所产生的结果。需要进一步研究从军事和民用角度探索冲突地区护理角色的本质。
