Natural disasters have become the most common, profound, and universal type of catastrophes over decades. Natural disasters can lead to both negative and positive impacts on survivors. Nurses have an important role in fostering posttraumatic growth (PTG) as a positive psychological adjustment amongst the survivors. However, nurses may have different perceptions of their roles in PTG. Such differences may result in various approaches in supporting PTG as best as possible. Therefore, nurses' perception regarding PTG needs to be explored.
This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. A total of fourteen nurse participants were included across five different cities in Indonesia, including Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed with a thematic method.
The study revealed three themes, as follows (1) PTG is a new concept for nurses, (2) PTG is a condition that needs to be sought by volunteers, and (3) PTG means human-God and human-human positive relationships.
The study highlights the importance of improving nurses' understanding regarding PTG so that they can deliver appropriate strategies or interventions to support survivors in gaining positive changes after experiencing a natural disaster. The study recommends that knowledge and skills related to PTG should be introduced in undergraduate nursing program.
几十年来,自然灾害已成为最常见、影响最深远且最具普遍性的灾难类型。自然灾害会给幸存者带来消极和积极两方面的影响。护士在促进创伤后成长(PTG)方面发挥着重要作用,创伤后成长是幸存者积极的心理调适过程。然而,护士对于自身在创伤后成长中所扮演的角色可能有不同的认知。这种差异可能导致在尽可能地支持创伤后成长方面采取不同的方法。因此,需要探究护士对创伤后成长的认知。
本研究采用描述性定性研究方法。总共纳入了来自印度尼西亚五个不同城市(包括雅加达、茂物、德波、坦格朗和勿加泗)的14名护士参与者。通过深入访谈收集数据,并采用主题分析法进行分析。
该研究揭示了三个主题,如下所示:(1)创伤后成长对护士来说是一个新概念;(2)创伤后成长是志愿者需要去促成的一种状态;(3)创伤后成长意味着人与上帝以及人与人之间的积极关系。
该研究强调了提高护士对创伤后成长理解的重要性,以便他们能够提供适当的策略或干预措施,来支持幸存者在经历自然灾害后实现积极的改变。该研究建议在本科护理课程中引入与创伤后成长相关的知识和技能。
