Nurses working or living near a community disaster have the opportunity to study health-related consequences to disaster or disaster recovery. In such a situation, the researchers need to deal with the conceptual and methodological issues unique to postdisaster research and know what resources are available to guide them, even if they have no specialized training or previous experience in disaster research. The purpose of this article is to review issues and challenges associated with conducting postdisaster research and encourage nurses to seek resources and seize opportunities to conduct research should the situation arise. Current disaster studies and the authors' personal experiences conducting maternal-child research in post-Katrina New Orleans (2005-2013) provide real-life examples of how health professionals and nurses faced the challenges of doing postdisaster research. After catastrophic events, nurses need to step forward to conduct disaster research that informs and improves future disaster planning and healthcare responses.
在社区灾难发生地附近工作或生活的护士有机会研究灾难或灾难恢复对健康产生的相关影响。在这种情况下，研究人员需要应对灾难后研究特有的概念和方法问题，并了解有哪些可用资源可以指导他们，即使他们没有灾难研究方面的专业培训或以往经验。本文旨在回顾与开展灾难后研究相关的问题和挑战，并鼓励护士在出现相关情况时寻求资源并抓住机会开展研究。当前的灾难研究以及作者在2005 - 2013年卡特里娜飓风过后的新奥尔良开展母婴研究的个人经历，提供了卫生专业人员和护士如何应对灾难后研究挑战的真实案例。在灾难性事件发生后，护士需要挺身而出开展灾难研究，为未来的灾难规划和医疗应对提供信息并加以改进。
