The Covid 19 pandemic has led to and continues to pose challenges for healthcare systems globally, especially in intensive care units. This research was conducted to examine the self-transcendence of the leading fighters, intensive care nurses, during the Covid 19 pandemic.
The descriptive phenomenological research method was used in the study. The research was carried out between June and December 2020 with the nurses who care for Covid 19 patients in the Covid 19 intensive care service in different provinces of Turkey. The research was completed with 25 participants. A semi-structured interview form prepared based on the Theory of Self-Transcendence (vulnerability, self-transcendence, and well-being) and based on the literature was used to collect data.
Ethical requirements were respected in every phase of the research process. Results: The nurses in the study were found to experience vulnerability due to "administrative loneliness," "inability to give care," "fear of being a source of infection," and "loneliness of patients."
It has been found that "improvement in nursing roles and skills," "being proud for oneself and the team," "understanding the value of life," and "feeling like a superhero due to the responsibilities shouldered during the pandemic" support nurses' self-transcendence, which contributes to physical and mental well-being.
新冠疫情给全球医疗体系带来了挑战，尤其是在重症监护病房。本研究旨在探讨新冠疫情期间，重症监护护士的自我超越。
本研究采用描述性现象学研究方法。研究于 2020 年 6 月至 12 月在土耳其不同省份的新冠重症监护病房护理新冠患者的护士中进行。共有 25 名参与者完成了研究。研究使用了一种基于自我超越理论（脆弱性、自我超越和幸福感）并基于文献的半结构式访谈表来收集数据。
在研究过程的每个阶段都尊重伦理要求。结果：研究中的护士因“行政孤独”、“无法提供护理”、“害怕成为感染源”和“患者孤独”而感到脆弱。
研究发现，“护理角色和技能的提高”、“为自己和团队感到自豪”、“理解生命的价值”以及“因在疫情期间承担的责任而感觉自己像超级英雄”，这些因素支持了护士的自我超越，有助于身心健康。
