This study described public health nurses' (PHNs) experiences in caring for people in their communities during the recovery stage of the Fukushima nuclear accident.
Forty-four PHNs responded to an open-ended questionnaire administered before a radiation protection workshop and participated in interviews after the workshop. Data were qualitatively analyzed.
Two major themes were identified: (1) profound powerlessness and (2) compelling sense of mission. The participants cared for people driven by their compelling sense of mission, despite not having the correct information or sufficient knowledge. They spoke of being heart-broken and barely able to face the reality of the impact of the accident.
PHNs supported people because of a compelling sense of mission yet it was a great burden. Education about radiation and radiation protection for nursing students and PHNs, two-way communication between PHNs and radiation specialists, long-term support by specialists, and the opportunity for PHNs to share their feelings and experiences is necessary.
本研究描述了公共卫生护士（PHNs）在福岛核事故恢复期照顾社区居民的经历。
44名公共卫生护士回答了在辐射防护研讨会前发放的开放式问卷，并在研讨会后参与了访谈。对数据进行了定性分析。
确定了两个主要主题：（1）深深的无力感和（2）强烈的使命感。尽管没有正确的信息或足够的知识，但参与者出于强烈的使命感照顾人们。他们表示心碎，几乎无法面对事故影响的现实。
公共卫生护士因强烈的使命感而支持人们，但这是一项巨大的负担。有必要对护理专业学生和公共卫生护士进行辐射及辐射防护教育，公共卫生护士与辐射专家之间进行双向沟通，专家提供长期支持，以及为公共卫生护士提供分享感受和经历的机会。
