Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am. 2008 Mar;20(1):111-9, viii. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2007.10.003.

Abstract

Nurses play an integral role during disasters because they are called upon more than any other health care professional during disaster response efforts; consequently, nurse researchers are interested in studying the issues that impact nurses in the aftermath of a disaster. This article offers research considerations for nurse scientists when developing proposals related to disaster research and identifies resources and possible funding sources for their projects.
