Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) exerted a massive toll on Hong Kong's healthcare system in 2003.
This research examines front-line nurses' reflections on the time of SARS in Hong Kong in order to articulate: (1) the nature and complexity of their experience, and (2) what lessons can be learned for future disease crises.
Personal reflective essays written in 2004 by seven senior nurses studying a part-time Masters in Nursing degree at a Hong Kong university were analysed using a form of content analysis.
The nurses' stories report immense personal costs on nurses, on their families and on the wider community. The analysis of the narratives was used to build a model, indicating how nurses' personal lives were 'sandwiched' between, on the one hand, their commitment to families and local community and, on the other hand, their professional commitment to the needs of a health system in crisis.
In dealing with future health crises, it is imperative that a multilevel approach be taken.
2003年严重急性呼吸系统综合症(SARS)给香港的医疗系统造成了巨大损失。
本研究探讨一线护士对香港SARS时期的反思,以便阐明:(1)他们经历的性质和复杂性,以及(2)对未来疾病危机可吸取哪些教训。
采用一种内容分析形式,对2004年香港一所大学七位攻读护理学兼职硕士学位的资深护士所写的个人反思文章进行分析。
护士们的故事表明,护士自身、其家人以及更广泛的社区都付出了巨大的个人代价。对这些叙述的分析用于构建一个模型,表明护士的个人生活如何一方面夹在对家庭和当地社区的承诺之间,另一方面夹在对处于危机中的卫生系统需求的职业承诺之间。
在应对未来的健康危机时,必须采取多层次方法。
