Nurses who serve in the military have a unique perspective on nursing and health care delivery that nurtures wholeness and inspires peace and healing on a global scale.
The purpose of this study was to explore health promotion and healing from the military nurse perspective.
Video-recorded interviews were conducted with 10 military nurses who represented various branches and times of service. Participants were asked to share their experiences as military nurses and discuss the challenges and rewards.
Thematic analysis of the recorded interviews revealed two major themes: interconnectedness and human potential.
This study showed that military nurses have unique experiences that influenced their way of promoting health and healing. Interconnectedness with family (personal and military) had many positive and negative factors. Interconnectedness with the health care team was more prominent for the nurses during military service than in the civilian arena. Global interconnectedness included working with teams from around the world, helping children of detainees see that Americans were not evil, and caring for international communities. Military service strengthened the three human qualities of mind, body, and spirit, which resulted in increasing each military nurse's human potential by enabling them to serve as instruments of healing on a global scale.
在军队中服务的护士对护理和医疗保健服务有着独特的见解，这种见解在全球范围内促进整体健康，激发和平与康复。
本研究的目的是从军队护士的角度探讨健康促进与康复。
对10名代表不同军种和服役时间的军队护士进行了视频采访。参与者被要求分享他们作为军队护士的经历，并讨论挑战和收获。
对采访记录的主题分析揭示了两个主要主题：相互联系和人类潜能。
本研究表明，军队护士有独特的经历，这些经历影响了他们促进健康和康复的方式。与家庭（个人和军队方面）的相互联系有许多积极和消极因素。在服役期间，军队护士与医疗团队的相互联系比在民用领域更为突出。全球相互联系包括与来自世界各地的团队合作、帮助被拘留者的孩子认识到美国人并非邪恶以及照顾国际社会。军事服务强化了思维、身体和精神这三种人类特质，通过使军队护士能够在全球范围内成为康复的工具，从而提升了他们每个人的人类潜能。
