Özet
Background: Healthcare professionals' “cultural prejudices” toward individuals' cultural beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions affect the care they provide. Their awareness of their bias is closely associated with the quality of healthcare provided. Purpose: This study was designed to assess nurses' perceptions regarding providing care to Syrian refugee patients using metaphors and to evaluate their views based on these metaphors. Methods: The participants in this qualitative study consisted of 80 nurses who worked in Level 1 and Level 2 health institutions. Data were collected using an interview form prepared by the researchers. The form included descriptive characteristics of the nurses and two expressions used to determine the nurses' opinions on providing care for Syrian refugee patients. The nurses were given an incomplete sentence, which was “Providing care for a Syrian refugee patient…because…,” and were asked to complete the blanks. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method. Results: On the basis of “providing care for Syrian refugee patients,” four categories of metaphors were determined: occupational awareness, health promotion, a difficult process/resistance, and providing service in vain. The participants generated 50 metaphors, with “humanity,” “a baby/little child,” and “a barrier” as the three most used metaphors, belonging to the “occupational awareness” and “a difficult process/resistance” categories, respectively. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: The metaphors of nurses regarding giving care to Syrian refugee patients were mostly concentrated in the categories of “occupational awareness” and “a difficult process/resistance.” Metaphors generated by the nurses offer a powerful research tool to reveal, understand, and explain nurses' personal perceptions and to develop and support nursing care accordingly. In addition, the subject of transcultural nursing should be discussed more extensively in nursing education programs. Understanding the social context of refugees is very important during the nursing care process.
