Özet
Aim To explore the experiences of the first nurses assigned to work in COVID-19 units with the onset of the outbreak in Turkey. Background Even though the risks faced by nurses while performing a dangerous task during the epidemic are similar, their experiences may differ. Method This qualitative study was carried out with 17 nurses. The interviews were carried out individually and online. The data were analysed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. Results From the analyses of the data, four key themes have emerged as follows: 'needs', 'anger', 'questioning' and 'decision'. Needs include visibility, support, adaptation and sleep/rest. Nurses were angry because of their unmet expectations, feelings of injustice, and selfish and insensitive behaviours they faced. They questioned their profession and decided to either alienate from the profession or continue with the gains they had made. Conclusion This study found that nurses perceived an imbalance between their efforts and their achievements. Implications for Nursing Management This study provides evidence for nursing managers to anticipate problems that may arise both during and after the outbreak. Nurses should be made to feel that they are valued members of the health care institution, and effective strategies should be implemented to improve their perceptions of organisational justice.
