Aim:
To build a comparative understanding of nurses' experiences with caring for burned patients with the goal of eliciting possible support strategies.
Background:
Considering the stressful nature of burns nursing, there is a need to develop support strategies for burn care nurses.
Design:
This meta-ethnographic study used Noblit and Hare's approach and followed PRISMA guidelines.
Data Sources:
The search databases included PsycINFO, EbscoHost, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed from 1990 to 2017.
Review Methods:
Qualitative studies were included in the review if they examined burn care nurses' experiences. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme quality assessment tool was used to appraise each study.
Results:
Ten papers (six articles and four theses) published between 1998 and 2014 met the criteria for inclusion. Three key concepts were generated from the synthesis: becoming a burns nurse, work environment, and nurses' emotional responses. The relationships between the concepts were noted to be reciprocal, from which a line of argument was developed using Schutz notion of constructs.
Conclusion:
There is a need to establish structures that can encourage burn care nurses to verbalise their feelings as well as strengthen the nursing team.
