While existing literature explores the experiences of nurses caring for amputees, there is a notable gap in research specifically addressing the experiences and needs of nurses caring for individuals amputated following an earthquake.</p><p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This study aims to qualitatively examine the experiences of nurses providing care to individuals amputated as a result of the earthquake.</p><p><strong>Methodology: </strong>A qualitative descriptive research design was employed, utilizing traditional content analysis. Snowball sampling was used. Data saturation was achieved after interviews with ten participants. In-depth interviews were conducted between April and June 2023.

The COREQ checklist was used for reporting.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>The experiences of nurses caring were categorized into three themes: \"Psychological and Cognitive Strain,\" \"Expanding Care,\" and \"Needs in Disaster Management.\" The \"Psychological and Cognitive Strain\" theme encompassed meaning units such as fear of causing harm, sadness, suffering, feelings of inadequacy, helplessness, emotional turmoil, and avoidance behavior. The \"Expanding Care\" theme included elements of altruism, sympathy, and compassion.</p><p><strong>Challenges: </strong>The \"Needs in Disaster Management\" theme highlighted both individual and organizational challenges. Despite their efforts to expand care in response to unexpected and rapidly evolving situations, including amputations, nurses encountered significant individual and organizational challenges and inadequacies, making it difficult to cope with the constantly changing health conditions. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses receive empowerment training focused on disaster management and the specialized care of amputees.</p>","PeriodicalId":56102,"journal":{"name":"Orthopaedic Nursing","volume":"44 4","pages":"240-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines nurse awareness and understanding of the new CMS and TJC SDOH requirements for orthopaedic practices. A total of 100 nurses from the National Association of Orthopedic Nurses were electronically surveyed regarding their preparedness for the new CMS and TJC SDOH requirements. Knowledge assessment revealed that 63% of nurses could correctly identify the SDOH domains of the new CMS requirements and 47% of nurses could correctly identify one of the major TJC SDOH mandates.

The ASR aims to collect comprehensive data on spine surgeries, including patient-reported outcomes and performance metrics, to enhance quality standards and clinical practice guidelines. Studies from European registries demonstrate the utility of registry data in identifying trends, assessing cost-effectiveness, and improving patient care. This paper also discusses the economic implications of participation in spine registries and emphasizes the potential cost savings and benefits for healthcare organizations. Ethical and legal considerations, data security, and patient confidentiality are addressed, along with the challenges associated with registry participation such as resource allocation.
