震災中的護理情－－921震災後護理人員之統整團體

Nursing Care in 921 Earthquake - Debriefing Group for Nurse Involved in 921 Earthquake Medical and Nursing Service

921震災發生後大批護理人員投入救災工作，在親身經歷了如此重壓情境之後，適當的處理護理人員們的心理反應是必須的。本篇以護理人員統整團體（debriefing group）為主，共進行了8次團體統整，成員間一同分享救災心得、相互瞭解、心理支持、宣洩情緒、以及提出建議事項等，在團體進行時，由帶領者負擔起教育的目的，告知成員一般的失落、歷力哀傷等反應，建議可運用之調適方法，並將團體紀錄及救災同仁所發表之文字加以整理，藉以提供其他護理人員分享此次寶貴之經驗。

Large group of nurses involved in post-earthquake rescuing activities after this disaster occurred in Chi-chi, Taiwan, September 21, 1999. Nurses in these rescuing medical teams encountered multiple-stressor situations. Offering debriefing groups for psychological support was necessary.This paper reviews and analyzes the nurses debriefing group, which was held in eight consecutive days within the period of providing medical and nursing services for people suffering from this disaster. In this debriefing group, members shared experiences, understanding for each other, catharsis, and proposed pragmatic suggestions for the disaster medical and nursing service team. The group leader led discussions about post-disaster loss, stress, and grieving responses. The debriefing group helped nurses reorganize the segmented pieces of nursing experience in the disaster, and gain personal growth from this impressive experience.
