Abstract Background Code blue is an emergency management that is used to provide information when patients experience cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest in the hospital. The code blue system consists of a team that is a collection of certified doctors and nurses who are assigned to handle cases of the emergency. But sometimes in the process of implementing the code blue system, the Code Blue team encountered several problems. The aim of this study was to explore the feelings of nurses when joining a member of the Code Blue team. Method This study was a qualitative study with an interpretive phenomenology approach. Participants in this study were 8 nurses selected using purposive sampling technique with inclusion criterias are they were nurses who had been members of the code blue team for ± 2 years, had attended ACLS training, were willing to become participants by signing the informed consent. This research was conducted in March 2019 at Wava Husada Hospital. The method used in this study is in-depth interviews supported by a semistructured and open-ended question guide. Results The results of this study obtained 4 themes, that were: 1) felt confused when they got a code blue for the first time; 2) faced two choices of tasks; 3) felt useful to others; 4) felt sorry and sad when the patient passed away. Nurses felt confused when getting a code blue call. This is related to those who did not have the experience to work on a team. They not only feel confused but are also faced with two job choices. That sometimes makes them feel like a dilemma. In addition, they also sometimes felt sorry and sad when the patients they helped cannot be saved and continued to stay alive. But behind the confusion and dilemma, they also felt useful because they can help others. Conclusion Taking a part as a code blue nurse was not an easy. There was big responsibility that they must embrace besides being a health care provider in their respective service units. This is what caused joy to become a nurse in the code blue team Top Keywords Nurses feelings, code blue team. Top |
