Images & relationships forged in war. A study of women nurses who served in Vietnam.
Remembrance of visual images and other sensations of war lasts a long time after the war is over, and these memories may be painful and disruptive for years. Training of military nurses and other health care personnel for war or disaster response should emphasize lessons learned from past wars and disasters. Curricula to meet the clinical and psychological challenges of war and disaster nursing will better prepare those who serve, and will lead to a more realistic understanding of situational demands and expectations.
