Participants wanted: Primary community and rural nurses study
Researchers from the University of Waikato are seeking primary, community, and rural nurses who worked in Tairāwhiti during Cyclone Hale and/or Cyclone Gabrielle to share their experiences. The study aims to better understand the challenges, adaptations, and supports that helped nurses continue caring for their communities in the aftermath of these events.
Participation involves a confidential one-on-one interview. Participants can choose how much to share, and their insights will contribute to future disaster response, practice, education, and policy. The study has been approved by the University of Waikato Human Research Ethics Committee.
