Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the significance of the experiences of army nurses in the Korea Disaster Relief Team (KDRT) in Turkiye.
Methods: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three nursing officers from August to October 2023. The data were analyzed using narrative inquiry methodology.
Results: This study explored a series of stories from army nurses, including their deployment to Turkiye and their return to Republic of Korea (ROK). The analysis identified four categories: ‘Confronting Distrust and Prejudice’, ‘A Success that Cannot Be Called a Success’, ‘The Burden of Medical Support Carried by 6 People’, and ‘Experiencing Battlefield Nursing at a Disaster Site’.
Conclusion: The study provided opportunities for the participants to reflect on their experiences. It identified aspects influencing disaster response and highlighted issues with the current system of the Ministry of Defense for rapid medical disaster response abroad. The significance lies in its consideration of implications in personal, social, and practical contexts. Finally, it suggests directions for future improvements and pursuits for better achievements in the KDRT.
