An exploratory descriptive study aimed at analyzing problems confronting nurses in primary health care settings during civil unrest is described. Data were collected by means of open and closed ended questionnaires. The response is recorded from twenty five participants who completed the questionnaire. Data analysis showed that nurses who were directly or indirectly affected by violence at work or at home were unable to render health care effectively. Experiences of harassment, intimidation and physical abuse were reported. Recommendations include what employers and professional organisations could do for the nurses trapped in socio-political violence.
