To explore the reflections and experiences of nurses who were deployed to the frontline to combat COVID-19 in Wuhan, China. In order to gain insights that can be useful in developing cultivating positive professional values and attitudes towards future public health emergencies.
Qualitative study using semistructured interviews. Data were transcribed and analysed using the Colaizzi's 7-step method. The study is reported in accordance with the consolidated Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research.
Telephonic interviews with nine participants who were deployed from Nanjing to Hubei Province for the fight against COVID-19.
Of 11 volunteer nurses deployed to Hubei Province for the fight against COVID-19, two nurses did not finish the interview because of their working hours. The remaining nine were recruited through purposive sampling using the following criteria: nurses who were deployed at the first stage and those who verbally agreed and signed an informed consent form to participate in the study.
Three thematic categories and subthemes that were identified from the analysis were as follows: (1) 'Assertive attitude to fight against the pandemic', included three subthemes: 'Inner calling towards professional accountability for saving lives', 'Extrinsic support that facilitates the commitment to the nursing profession' and 'Holistic value ascribed to the nursing profession'. (2) 'Challenges associated with the anti-pandemic mission', included 'overcoming challenges around the strict requirements for personal protection' and 'Fear and uncertainty over the rapid progression of the disease'. (3) 'Unbearable heaviness and lightness of being a nurse', with two subthemes: 'the heavy crown of the anti-pandemic hero' and 'eternal reverence without regrets'.
As reflected by the nurses on frontline combating COVID-19, it was necessary to inculcate professional nursing values in them, as only their dedication and selflessness could improve humanity's chances against the disease.
探索在中国武汉抗击 COVID-19 一线部署的护士的反思和体验。为了深入了解，以便在未来应对公共卫生突发事件时培养积极的职业价值观和态度。
使用半结构式访谈的定性研究。使用 Colaizzi 的 7 步方法对数据进行转录和分析。本研究按照定性研究报告的统一标准进行报告。
通过电话采访 9 名从南京部署到湖北省抗击 COVID-19 的参与者。
在派往湖北省抗击 COVID-19 的 11 名志愿者护士中，有 2 名护士因工作时间原因没有完成采访。其余 9 名护士是通过目的抽样招募的，入选标准为：第一阶段部署的护士，以及口头同意并签署知情同意书参与研究的护士。
从分析中确定了三个主题类别和子主题，如下所示：(1)“抗击疫情的果断态度”，包括三个子主题：“拯救生命的专业责任感的内在呼唤”、“有利于对护理职业的承诺的外在支持”和“赋予护理职业的整体价值”。(2)“与抗疫任务相关的挑战”，包括“克服个人防护严格要求带来的挑战”和“对疾病快速进展的恐惧和不确定性”。(3)“作为护士的沉重与轻盈”，有两个子主题：“抗疫英雄的沉重皇冠”和“无怨无悔的永恒敬意”。
正如一线抗击 COVID-19 的护士所反映的那样，有必要向他们灌输专业的护理价值观，因为只有他们的奉献精神和无私精神才能提高人类对抗疾病的机会。
