Aim:
To describe nurses' experiences of health concerns, teamwork, leadership and management and knowledge transfer during an Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Design:
The study has a qualitative descriptive design.
Methods:
The 44 nurses who had worked in an Ebola Treatment Centre in Kenema in 2014 and 2015 were invited by email to respond to a questionnaire. The qualitative, open-ended answers were analysed using a thematic analysis. Data have been coded systematically, with the identification of semantic patterns presented in four themes.
Results:
The themes are as follows: personal health management-a way to feel safe and secure for delegates and affiliates; pre-deployment training-crucial for a joint value base and future collaboration; the importance of a professional democratic approach and being a good role model; and the value of timely in-depth knowledge transfer of experienced former delegates.
