Trauma is a serious threat in developing countries. Prevention efforts, which have been so effective in other countries in controlling the incidence of injuries, are almost nonexistent. The lifestyles make the population prone to injury and tribal cultures may practice rituals that create personal injury. Developing nations lack adequate health care services for a large section of the population. A trauma nurse who visited Papua New Guinea describes her experience with living and working in various health care settings.
创伤在发展中国家是一个严重威胁。在其他国家对控制伤害发生率成效显著的预防措施，在这些国家几乎不存在。其生活方式使人们容易受伤，部落文化可能还存在导致人身伤害的仪式。发展中国家的大部分人口缺乏足够的医疗保健服务。一位访问过巴布亚新几内亚的创伤护士描述了她在不同医疗环境中生活和工作的经历。
