The lived experience of 24 military nurses during the Vietnam war is described in addition to common elements of their lives after returning from Vietnam. In-depth interviews generated data about personal and professional aspects of the lives of women nurses in the war zone. Data analysis incorporated the qualitative methods of Colaizzi, Lincoln and Guba, and Van Manen. Findings revealed that the nurses struggled with moral and ethical dilemmas of wartime nursing, felt out-of-place, and lacked privacy. The nurses described a deep and special bonding, and many found serving in Vietnam to be the most rewarding experience in their careers. The Vietnam War continues to have an effect on the lives of the nurses who served there. They balance their personal and professional growth gleaned from this experience with the physical and emotional stresses experienced during the war and since the war. The findings of this study have implications for further research about nurses in Vietnam and nurses who have served in other wars.
文中描述了24名越南战争期间的军队护士的亲身经历，以及她们从越南回国后的共同生活元素。深度访谈收集了有关战区女护士生活中个人和职业方面的数据。数据分析采用了科莱齐、林肯和古巴以及范曼恩的定性方法。研究结果显示，护士们在战时护理的道德和伦理困境中挣扎，感觉格格不入，且缺乏隐私。护士们描述了一种深厚而特殊的情谊，许多人发现，在越南服役是她们职业生涯中最有意义的经历。越南战争继续影响着曾在那里服役的护士们的生活。她们将从这段经历中获得的个人和职业成长，与战争期间及战后经历的身心压力相平衡。本研究结果对进一步研究越南护士以及曾在其他战争中服役的护士具有启示意义。
