Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Ethical care provided by nurses to earthquake victims is one of the main subjects in nursing profession. OBJECTIVES:Given the information gap in this field, the present study is an attempt to explore the nurses' experience of ethical care provided to victims of an earthquake. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD:A hermeneutic phenomenological study was performed. The participants were 16 nurses involved in providing care to the injured in Kermanshah earthquake, Iran. They were selected using purposeful sampling, and in-depth and semi-structured interviews were carried out. The transcribed interviews were analyzed based on the hermeneutic approach using the analysis method proposed by Diekelmann et al. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS:The study was approved by the Research Council and Ethics Committee of Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Iran. FINDINGS:Data analyses revealed four themes and 10 sub-themes that illustrated nurses' experience of ethical care during earthquake. The themes were (1) Respecting humanistic values (sacrifice, stepping beyond task description, and voluntary work), (2) Commitment to ethics (honesty, confidentiality, and trustworthiness), (3) Respecting dignity of victims (respecting cultural values, maintaining privacy, having humanistic perspective, and effective communication), and (4) Spiritual support (helping patients to do religious rituals Psychological support). CONCLUSION:The results showed the nurses' experience with providing care to earthquake victims. The findings underlined ethics and ethical values in providing nursing care during disasters. It is suggested that special courses on the importance of nursing ethics in critical situations be incorporated into nursing curriculums and in-service educations.
