Abstract

Objectives: Following natural disasters nurses assume a critical role in the provision of primary health care services in container cities. This study aims to reveal the experiences of nurses who voluntarily provided primary health care services in the container city constructed after the earthquake.

Methods: This study was conducted using a qualitative study design, and reported following the COREQ guidelines. Interviews were conducted with 9 volunteer nurses between January 11-29, 2024. Study data were collected using a "Personal Information Form" and "Semi-Structured Questionnaire" via in-depth interview technique. Collected data were analyzed with a 6-step thematic analysis method.

Results: Five main themes were featured in the study: "Factors affecting participation in volunteer activities," "Scope of volunteer services," "Challenges experienced in volunteer activities," "Achievements of volunteer activities," and "Suggestions for improving volunteer services."

Conclusions: Volunteer nurses have experienced various gains, as well as difficulties, as a result of their container city experiences. Suggestions for improving disaster nursing are instructive in terms of strengthening disaster nursing.
