The purpose of this article is to call attention to the lack of caregiver safety in conflict settings; to bring awareness to nurses and health care professionals of new challenges, specifically the deliberate targeting of health care professionals, that they may encounter in local armed conflict situations; and to address a gap in knowledge about the social and cultural factors surrounding 21st-century armed conflict that directly affect the provision of health care. I argue that these are of interest to transcultural nursing in that violent actors belong to a dangerous subculture, the understanding of which is important to transcultural nursing practice and caregiver safety. The article calls for increased focus on the protection of the nursing workforce and renewed attention on international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions that mandate the safety of global health care workers.
本文旨在提请人们关注冲突环境中护理人员安全的缺失；让护士和医疗保健专业人员意识到他们在当地武装冲突局势中可能遇到的新挑战，特别是医疗保健专业人员被蓄意作为目标；并填补关于21世纪武装冲突所涉直接影响医疗保健提供的社会和文化因素方面的知识空白。我认为，这些对跨文化护理很重要，因为暴力行为者属于危险的亚文化，了解这一点对跨文化护理实践和护理人员安全至关重要。本文呼吁更加关注护理人员队伍的保护，并重新关注规定全球医护人员安全的国际人道法和《日内瓦公约》。
