To examine media portrayals of nurses and their roles during the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic in western Africa.
The study used document analysis and in-depth content analysis to review and assess literature on the Ebola epidemic. A total of 234 potentially relevant articles were identified; 109 were excluded and 125 were included in the analysis.
The analysis revealed a gap in system preparedness for global health events and a lack of public awareness of the critical role of nurses. Little attention was paid to nurses and their knowledge and expertise as they worked through the Ebola event. The perception of nurses evolved over the epidemic.
Portrayals of nurses and their work during the Ebola epidemic evolved over the epidemic, from positive to negative, and health systems were shown to be unprepared for a major epidemic.
Media coverage of major health events can demonstrate system inadequacies, but inaccurate and misleading portrayals of nurses and the nursing profession can undermine and diminish the image of the nursing profession.
研究2014 - 2015年西非埃博拉疫情期间媒体对护士及其角色的描绘。
本研究采用文献分析和深入内容分析法，对有关埃博拉疫情的文献进行回顾和评估。共识别出234篇可能相关的文章；排除109篇，125篇纳入分析。
分析揭示了全球卫生事件系统准备方面的差距以及公众对护士关键作用的认识不足。在应对埃博拉疫情期间，护士及其知识和专业技能很少受到关注。在疫情期间，对护士的认知发生了变化。
埃博拉疫情期间对护士及其工作的描绘在疫情过程中发生了变化，从积极到消极，并且显示出卫生系统对重大疫情没有做好准备。
媒体对重大卫生事件的报道可以揭示系统不足，但对护士和护理专业不准确且具有误导性的描绘会损害和贬低护理专业的形象。
