“… 22 In addition, Blaz et al. 23 states that civilian and military forces encounter with many damages and threats during combats. Although immediate consideration to the wounded and preparation for helping them did not exist at the beginning of the war, it attained gradually through deploying trained forces.…”

PurposeNurses played a critical role in performing triage during the Iran-Iraq War. However, their experiences in triage have not been discussed. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the triage experiences of civilian nurses during the Iran-Iraq War.MethodsOral history method and in-depth interviews were used to collect data to gain the nurses' experiences in triage.ResultsFour themes were extracted from the data, which were the development of triage, challenging environment to perform triage, development of mobile triage teams, and challenges of triage chemical victims for nurses.ConclusionTriage is an important skill for nurses to manage critical situations such as disasters and wars. Nurses have to be competent in performing triage. Involvement in critical situations helps the nurses learn and gain more experience on how to manage unexpected events.

“…(Lundberg, K. et al, 2014). En jämförelse kan här göras med andra länder där sjuksköterskan befinner sig i stridszon, men då som en del av ett medicinskt team (Blaz, Woodson et al, 2013;Pasquier et al, 2014). Det ställs stora krav på att utbildningen är integrerad med den militära aktivitet som kan förekomma på en skadeplats i militär miljö.…”

“…Att kunna automatisera omhändertagandet innebär att utföra åtgärder som grundar sig på ett definierat protokoll enligt <C> ABCDE, vilket är grunden för allt prehospitalt omhändertagande i fält (Blaz, Woodson et al, 2013;Lundberg, 2010;Savage et al, 2011). Bedömningen av den skadade utgår ifrån fysiologiska vitalparametrar såsom puls och andning.…”

Aims: Governing for the Armed Forces health care is respect for human dignity and the view of each individual as irreplaceable. The quality of the military care will be at a level equivalent to that of today's civil peace healthcare, which requires that the training is of high quality. Casualty care in the military environment is a complex, challenging and dangerous task. Today there is a lack of knowledge about how to learn these skills. The purpose of the research was to identify the knowledge area pre-hospital care in the military environment by examining what doctors, nurses, paramedics and officers learn about military health care during preparation and exercise. Method: A phenomenographic approach was used in all sub-studies, and empirical data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews. Study I‐III are cross-sectional studies and study IV is a longitudinal study. Twelve registered nurses who had served in Bosnia were interviewed for study I, and 24 conscript paramedics were interviewed for study II. Study III included 20 officers in their pre-deployment training for service in Afghanistan and Liberia, and Study IV included 7 doctors and twenty nurses who previously had served in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo and Liberia. Results: Learning military health care by training and gaining experience can be seen as different abilities; interaction, action and reflection. In-depth analysis at a meta--‐level revealed that the integration between the military and military medical fields of knowledge was missing. The results indicate that participants' understanding of their respective fields of knowledge is inadequate and needs to be integrated in education in a clearer way. Implications: To create opportunities for better education and integration in these fields of knowledge are proposed (1) that the findings of the thesis could be utilised to develop the design of the curriculum (2) the inter-professional learning is introduced as a part of creating a safer and more effective pre-hospital care, (3) the clinical competence becomes part of the development of pre-hospital emergency care in the field, and (4) that the training is built according to the principle of "train as you fight" with emphasis on the requirements in the combat zone

“…While the competencies and practical skills required of military nurses are similar to civilian nurses, additional soldier and combat nursing roles are unique to the military (Bibb et al., ; Kraemer, ). During deployment to a combat zone, military nurses are tasked with caring for complex patients with extensive traumas, often resulting from penetrating or blast injuries, in austere environments that present additional challenges (Blaz, Woodson, & Sheehy, ). Further, the expanded role of medics to provide bedside care, as compared with civilian unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), means that military nurses are also expected to assume greater leadership roles within the military care team (Julian, ).…”

Antecedents of situational transitions include any change in work roles or work environments. Attributes of situational transitions include journey, disequilibrium, finding balance, conditional, and pervasive. Consequences of transition range from successful to unsuccessful. Additional research that investigates the specific needs and challenges unique to nurses practicing in a military environment is needed.
