Abstract

An emergency involves many aspects, such as health workers, families, medical equipment and adequate health service facilities. The nurse is a health worker who can save a patient's life. Emergency services in remote areas allow nurses to face several threats and challenges. The community has the view that a nurse must be able to provide all health services in a complete manner, including treatment. This study aims to explore the experiences of nurses in emergency services in the Ponelo Islands, North Gorontalo district. The research design used was qualitative with an interpretive phenomenology approach. In-depth interviews with informants, which involved 3 participants who acted as implementing nurses at the community health center in Ponelo Island area. This study resulted in four themes, namely having concern for patients who need help, the helplessness of nurses to perform first aid in emergency cases, feeling anxious when referring patients and the importance of developing quality resources and medical center service facilities. The conclusion of the results of this study is that the limited number of nurses, the lack of development through training in emergency services and inadequate public health center service facilities causes the implementation of emergency services to be not optimal.
