Declarations

:

: Permission for the research was obtained from the Ondokuz Mayıs University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Board (No: 2023 − 605). The data collection process abided by ethical principles. Nurses included in the study were given information about the study and provided written consent by signing the Informed Consent Form. Nurses were informed that participation in the study was voluntary, that they could interrupt the interview at any time if they felt unwell, and that they had the right to withdraw completely from the study at any time. However, no participants withdrew from the study. Participants were informed that all information obtained would be kept confidential. In line with this, printed copies of interview transcripts were numbered serially to protect anonymity and stored in secure cabinets that could only be accessed by the researcher. All digital data were kept on password-protected computers accessed by the researchers. The study was completed according to the ethical standards stated in the Helsinki Declaration. Participants were also guided to seek professional psychological support to effectively cope with the negative consequences of secondary trauma.
