Nursing Care Experiences With Syrian Refugees in Southern Turkey: A Metaphor Analysis

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.
