Abstract

Aim: Migration has become one of global human security issues of the 21st century. Women refugees face a unique set of problems and their health is often compromised. The aim of this study was to describe health and family support issues encountered by women refugees in refugee setting and related nursing interventions. Methods: A literature review was performed using Academic Search Premier, CINAHL and Medline databases, and the following keywords were used separately and in combination to retrieve related abstracts and articles: `women refugees`, `health`, `nursing`. Only original articles from qualitative studies published in English and focusing on women’s health and family support in the refugee setting were selected for the review. Results: Three major themes related to women refugees’ health issues were identified: `Culture sensitivity`, `Seeking life balance` and `Gender-based violence`. In addition, nine major themes related to family support were found: `Family reunion (difficulty to emigrate)`, `Changes in family’s connections and roles`, `Unsatisfactory family life`, `Discrimination and contempt by community`, `Health problems in children`, `Mental health problems in family member`, `Adjustment and adaptation of life pattern in a new country`, `Family time and togetherness` and `Concern about forgetting one’s homeland`. On the other hand, we identified 11 major themes related to nursing interventions implemented for women refugees. Conclusion: Disaster nurses have important role to protect and promote human security among women refugees. Future studies should determine how disaster nurses can efficiently promote human security for women in refugee setting.

Abstract

This review aimed to examine the existing literature in English and Japanese on family needs during disaster. We identified the necessary care for families by focusing on nursing activities and needs among patients and their families in each phase of the disaster. The databases searched in this review were Academic Search Premier, Medline, CINAHL, and Igaku Chuo Zasshi. Three keywords—“disaster,” “family,” and “nursing”—were searched both separately and in combination in Japanese and English languages. Results showed various specific nursing activities and needs for families, community, staff (doctors, nurses, and care workers), and facilities (home-visit nursing office and hospital) in each disaster phase. In the pre-impact phase, prevention, protection, and preparedness were emphasized. During the impact phase, primarily securing place, assessing environment, and providing psychological first aid for survivors and families were emphasized. The post-impact phase focused on the recovery of all aspects of the disaster’s impact. In conclusion, the necessary care for families in each phase of disasters is to protect human life and security. Nurses should carry out disaster-response activities based on human life and security. In addition, nurses should focus on family members who have health concerns before the disaster and build the family support system.
