Abstract:
Little is known about the impact that disaster volunteerism has on nurses. It is important to hear the experiences of those who return again to better understand the reasons that call them back. Using grounded theory methodology, 20 nurses who responded to more than one disaster event participated in semistructured interviews. Capacity for the art of nursing, confidence in performing the role, fostering the team among the chaos, and humanistic symbiosis emerged, leading to a core category, facilitating self-transcendence, guided by Reed's middle-range theory. With repeat deployments come enhanced personal rewards that provide meaningful opportunities for self-transcendence.
