“…A study, which was conducted in 2012 and based on the phenomenological approach, evaluated the experiences of Iranian chemical victims living with fatigue. Results of this study showed that the nature of fatigue experienced by chemical victims is a chronic condition (25). Since fatigue is a phenomenon that affects quality of life and daily activities (25,26), it seems that chemical victims always try to manage their activities to prevent such fatigue.…”

Background: Self-care is a vital aspect of the holistic nursing of patients with chronic diseases, yet self-care strategies used by veterans who were injured by mustard gas, are not clearly identified. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine some self-care strategies for chemically-injured veterans. Methods: The current qualitative study was conducted based on the conventional content analysis approach. Data collection comprised of 16 semi-structured interviews with chemical veterans. The purposive sampling method was used up to data saturation, and data analysis was conducted using Lundman and Graneheim's qualitative content analysis method. Results: Data analysis resulted in the extraction of a main theme (using protective behaviors) with 4 sub-categories (setting activities, trying to adapt, trying to be independent, and seeking information), that represent the experiences of chemical veterans in regard to self-care behaviors. Conclusions: Protective behaviors in chemical victims originate from their personal, social, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Identifying these behaviors can guide protective health care system policies for them.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify and explain the essences and structures of maternal conflicts in Vietnamese married immigrant women in Korea. Methods: A phenomenological methodology was used for the study. Eleven Vietnamese married immigrant women participated in the study. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's method. Results: Four categories, 10 clusters and 26 themes emerged from the data for the experience in maternal conflicts of Vietnamese married immigrant women. The four categories were 'An unprepared young motherhood in another culture', 'Feeling left out of the mother's place along the bands of Nap tai tradition', 'My image is like not-being able to stand alone/be independent' and 'Finding hope in motherhood despite of conflicts and stigmas'. Conclusion: Vietnamese married immigrant women experienced not only the negative aspects but also sublimation of maternal conflicts. Based on the results, health professionals need to develop effective nursing interventions toward a positive maternal identity and approach with interculturalism for the Vietnamese married immigrant women in Korea.
