Area of Science:

  • Military Health
  • Nursing Research
  • Qualitative Metasynthesis

Background:

  • Deployed military nurses encounter significant emotional and psychological challenges.
  • Understanding these deployment experiences aids in preparing nurse leaders for disaster response.
  • This study addresses the experiences of U.S. and allied nurses in combat zones post-9/11.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experiences of U.S. and allied military nurses deployed to combat zones.
  • To identify common themes and challenges faced by these nurses during deployment.
  • To inform strategies for supporting military medical personnel in future operations.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative metasynthesis of 11 studies published between 2004-2023.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on qualitative/mixed-methods studies of nurses in fixed medical facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kuwait.
  • Data analysis involved structured literature search, critical appraisal, reciprocal translation, and meta-ethnographic synthesis.

Main Results:

  • Three overarching themes emerged: "care in a combat zone," "leadership in a combat zone," and "personhood."
  • Subthemes reflected roles as "care giver," "leader," and "person," highlighting multifaceted experiences.
  • These themes provide a holistic view of military nurses' deployed realities.

Conclusions:

  • Military nurses' experiences are shaped by their roles as clinicians, officers, and individuals.
  • Enhanced understanding of these deployment themes can improve support for staff in future combat operations.
  • The complexities of caring, leading, and personhood may contribute to emotional distress among deployed personnel.
