To explore the influence of experiences of involvement in the COVID-19 rescue task on professional identity among Chinese nurses from a qualitative method perspective.
Professional identity of nurses is not static and easily affected by many factors. The COVID-19 epidemic brings the tremendous physical and psychological challenges for rescue nurses. At present, there are limited data on the influence of rescue experiences on the nurses' professional identity.
This study used a face-to-face interview with semi-structured questions to learn about the influence of rescue experiences on the professional identity of nurses. Purposeful sampling was used to collect participants (n = 14), and interview data were analysed following the Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis.
The 'impression of exhaustion and fear', 'feeling the unfairness', 'perceiving incompetence in rescue task' and 'unexpected professional benefits' were the main factors affecting the professional identity of rescue nurses.
The present study showed that special attention and targeted support measures should be provided to improve the professional identity of rescue nurses.
Nurse managers should make a post-epidemic recovery plan to help nurses to improve the professional identity. Designed education programmes and complete disaster response system should be developed to deal with infection disease in the future.
从定性的角度探讨参与 COVID-19 救援任务对中国护士职业认同的影响。
护士的职业认同不是静态的，容易受到许多因素的影响。COVID-19 疫情给救援护士带来了巨大的身心挑战。目前，关于救援经验对护士职业认同影响的数据有限。
本研究采用面对面的半结构式访谈，了解救援经验对护士职业认同的影响。采用目的性抽样方法选取参与者（n=14），并采用 Colaizzi 的现象学分析方法对访谈数据进行分析。
“疲惫和恐惧的印象”、“感到不公平”、“在救援任务中感到能力不足”和“意外的专业收益”是影响救援护士职业认同的主要因素。
本研究表明，应特别关注并提供有针对性的支持措施，以提高救援护士的职业认同。
护士管理者应制定疫情后恢复计划，帮助护士提高职业认同。应设计教育计划和完善灾害应对系统，以便未来应对传染病。
