Abstract

Objective: Hospitals are under constant threat from internal and external hazards. A fire can cause substantial structural damage that necessitates evacuations which can compromise care. The objective of this study is to assess the lived experiences of the Wexford General Hospital Staff who responded to the fire to learn how to improve an Irish Hospital Fire Protection System.

Method: This Hermeneutic Phenomenological research study was conducted through focus group discussions and structured interviews. Hospital staff who volunteered to participate in the study must have worked on the day or night shift of the incident.

Results: Discussion contents review yielded codes and themes, drawn into positive and negative lived experiences. Two main themes emerged: Positive Themes = Luck, Leadership, Level-headed, Liaison, Look-back and Learn (L5); Problem Themes = Alarms, Begrudge, Communication, Directive, Emergency Plan, Flow (ABCDEF).

Conclusions: The Hermeneutic Phenomenology methodology utilized in this study specifically learning from the lived experiences of those who were on duty during the WGH fire can improve the fire protection system at hospitals based on the knowledge gained encompassed in the L5 and ABCDEF findings.

爱尔兰医院火灾现象学研究。

目的：医院不断受到内外部危害的威胁。火灾可能造成严重的结构损坏，需要疏散，这可能会影响护理。本研究的目的是评估韦克斯福德总医院工作人员的生活经验，他们对火灾做出了反应，以学习如何改善爱尔兰医院消防系统。方法：本解释学现象学研究通过焦点小组讨论和结构化访谈进行。自愿参加这项研究的医院工作人员必须在事故发生时上白班或夜班。结果：讨论内容审查产生了代码和主题，吸引了积极和消极的生活经历。积极主题=运气、领导力、头脑冷静、联络、回顾和学习（L5）；问题主题=警报，嫉妒，沟通，指令，应急计划，流程（ABCDEF）。结论：本研究中使用的解释学现象学方法，特别是从WGH火灾期间值班人员的生活经验中学习，可以根据L5和ABCDEF的发现所获得的知识来改善医院的消防系统。

期刊介绍： Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is the first comprehensive and authoritative journal emphasizing public health preparedness and disaster response for all health care and public health professionals globally. The journal seeks to translate science into practice and integrate medical and public health perspectives. With the events of September 11, the subsequent anthrax attacks, the tsunami in Indonesia, hurricane Katrina, SARS and the H1N1 Influenza Pandemic, all health care and public health professionals must be prepared to respond to emergency situations. In support of these pressing public health needs, Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness is committed to the medical and public health communities who are the stewards of the health and security of citizens worldwide.
