In recent years, there has been increased recognition of the significance and relevance of Holocaust studies to nurses. However, these studies are rarely integrated in the nursing curriculum, and even when they are, the focus is usually on healthcare personnel who collaborated with the Nazi regime. This article aims to bridge this gap by analyzing a comprehensive requisite curriculum on the Holocaust for graduate nursing students. We emphasize the work of Jewish healthcare professionals during the Holocaust and the dilemmas they faced, as well as the trauma and resilience of Holocaust survivors, their treatment today, and implications for treating other patients. This article examines how studying these issues affected the graduate students. It analyzes the reflective accounts written by the students, using qualitative content analysis and Grounded Theory. The findings suggest that students received tools to act professionally and empathetically while demonstrating greater sensitivity to the patients' identity, past experiences, trauma, and how the hospital as a "total institution" affects them. Many of the students developed conscious leadership. The program used a personalized pedagogical approach that contributed to experiential learning but was also emotionally challenging for the participants. We recommend including Holocaust studies as a requisite component in nursing programs worldwide.
近年来，人们越来越认识到大屠杀研究对护士的重要性和相关性。然而，这些研究很少被纳入护理课程，即使有，重点通常也放在与纳粹政权合作的医疗保健人员身上。本文旨在通过分析一门针对研究生护理学生的大屠杀综合必修课程来弥合这一差距。我们强调犹太医疗保健专业人员在大屠杀期间的工作以及他们所面临的困境，以及大屠杀幸存者的创伤和韧性、他们今天的治疗方法以及对治疗其他患者的影响。本文探讨了学习这些问题对研究生的影响。它分析了学生所写的反思性报告，使用了定性内容分析和扎根理论。研究结果表明，学生们获得了在专业和同理心方面表现的工具，同时对患者的身份、过去的经历、创伤以及医院作为“全机构”如何影响他们表现出更大的敏感性。许多学生发展出了有意识的领导力。该计划采用了个性化的教学方法，有助于体验式学习，但也对参与者的情感造成了挑战。我们建议将大屠杀研究作为全球护理项目的必修组成部分。
