Camp nurses are in a unique position to assist in the study of homesickness because they are living the situation. This descriptive study was undertaken because homesickness has not been defined operationally, and nurses do not have a documented set of "defining characteristics" that might be used to make a diagnosis. Twelve camp nurses from eight states completed a questionnaire on homesickness. The nurses surveyed had a consistent set of defining characteristics regarding homesickness. Intuition is reported to play a significant part in the camp nurses's diagnosis of homesickness. Symptoms of homesickness and recommended interventions are included that will ultimately help to promote a more positive camp experience for the camper.
营地护士处于协助研究思乡之情的独特位置,因为他们身临其境。开展这项描述性研究是因为思乡之情尚未进行操作性定义,而且护士没有一套可用于诊断的记录在案的“定义特征”。来自八个州的12名营地护士完成了一份关于思乡之情的问卷。接受调查的护士在思乡之情方面有一套一致的定义特征。据报道,直觉在营地护士对思乡之情的诊断中起着重要作用。文中列出了思乡之情的症状和推荐的干预措施,这些最终将有助于为露营者营造更积极的营地体验。
