During the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses played a crucial role in clinical treatment. As a special group, front-line nurses, especially those assigned to support Hubei Province in the fight against COVID-19 between February and April 2020, brought diverse experiences from different provinces in China in taking care of COVID-19 patients and role cognition. Therefore, our purpose is to explore the real coping experience and role cognition of front-line nurses during the novel coronavirus outbreak to provide relevant experience references for society and managers in the face of such major public health emergencies in the future.
This qualitative study was performed using the phenomenological hermeneutics method.
This is a qualitative phenomenological study. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The interviewees were 53 front-line nurses who assisted and supported the fight against COVID-19 in Hubei Province during the COVID-19 epidemic. Data were collected through individual online and telephone interviews using a semi-structured interview during March 2020. The COREQ guidance was used to report this study.
The findings revealed that front-line nurses assisting in the fight against COVID-19 developed a context-specific role cognition of their work and contribution to society. The qualitative analysis of the data revealed 15 sub-categories and 5 main categories. These five themes represented the different roles identified by nurses. The roles included expectations, conflicts, adaptation, emotions, and flow of blessing. Belief in getting better, a sense of honor, and training could help them to reduce feelings of conflict in this role and adapt more quickly.
This article discusses the real coping experience and role cognition of front-line nurses during the novel coronavirus epidemic. It provides relevant experience references for society and managers to face similar major public health emergencies in the future. This study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it demonstrates how non-local nurses sent to Hubei to work perceived their roles as part of a larger narrative of patriotism, duty, solidarity, and hope.
在新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间，护士在临床治疗中发挥了关键作用。作为一个特殊群体，一线护士，尤其是那些在2020年2月至4月期间被派往湖北省支援抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎的护士，带来了来自中国不同省份照顾新型冠状病毒肺炎患者的多样经历和角色认知。因此，我们的目的是探索新型冠状病毒爆发期间一线护士的真实应对经验和角色认知，以便为未来面对此类重大突发公共卫生事件的社会和管理者提供相关经验参考。
本定性研究采用现象学诠释学方法进行。
这是一项定性现象学研究。采用半结构化深度访谈收集数据。受访者为53名在新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情期间协助并支援湖北省抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎的一线护士。2020年3月通过个人在线和电话访谈，采用半结构化访谈收集数据。本研究遵循COREQ指南进行报告。
研究结果显示，协助抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎的一线护士对其工作及对社会的贡献形成了特定情境下的角色认知。对数据的定性分析揭示了15个子类别和5个主要类别。这五个主题代表了护士所认同的不同角色。这些角色包括期望、冲突、适应、情感和祝福传递。对病情好转的信念、荣誉感和培训有助于他们减少在该角色中的冲突感并更快适应。
本文探讨了新型冠状病毒疫情期间一线护士的真实应对经验和角色认知。它为社会和管理者未来面对类似重大突发公共卫生事件提供了相关经验参考。本研究对文献做出了重大贡献，因为它展示了被派往湖北工作的非本地护士如何将自己的角色视为爱国主义、责任、团结和希望这一宏大叙事的一部分。
