“…This attribute can also be the foundation for developing volunteering instruments specific to the health care context. Previous research only explained the burden of volunteering and not comprehensively about volunteering's attributes (Gau et al, 2014). This instrument's development helps health care providers, especially nurses, assess and evaluate the volunteers' readiness or perception in the process of volunteering activity.…”

“…Previous research about volunteering in healthcare context is rarely conducted. There is a study about developing instruments in observing the burden experienced by volunteers (Gau, Buettner, Usher, & Stewart, 2014). However, the study only described the aspect of burden, not seeing the attribute of volunteering comprehensively as well as not being specific in the health care context.…”

Background: Volunteering is a common concept used in various disciplines including in the health care context. Nursing plays a role in volunteering concept development. However, the use of volunteering concept is still interchangeable. The clear definition concept about volunteering will promote the improvement in healthcare system quality.Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the volunteering concept in the health care context using Rodger’s evolutionary concept analysis.Methods: This study used a literature review for collecting the exemplars. Researchers used articles published in 2010-2020 in ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Articles were searched using OR and AND. The keywords and MeSH used were “Volunteering OR Volunteerism OR volunteers AND Health OR Care OR Nursing” in the title, abstract, and keyword articles. Inclusion criteria were full articles in English. Rodger’s evolutionary concept analysis was implemented in this study with six steps.Results: This study used 39 eligible articles analyzed by providing codes of each article and then classified them in attributes, antecedents, and consequences of concept. Five attributes of volunteering, namely, giving help freely, as long-term planned, as giving a benefit to another individual, group, or organization, as working at a formal organization, and as a long-life activity were found. Antecedents of volunteering include motivation, social demographic, and philanthropic behavior. The consequences of volunteering were consequences for volunteers, patients, and the health care system.Conclusion: Volunteering is a complex concept and many surrogate concepts have similar definitions. The attributes are still debatable and need to be explored. Also, the consequences of volunteering are still rarely discussed in a particular health care system context. Further studies need to analyze the measurement of volunteering development based on the nursing theory framework and explore the consequences of volunteering in the health care system related to the nursing care context.

IntroductionGlobal climate change has produced growing natural disasters across the world especially in Global South. Different countries experience varied vulnerabilities depending on their geographical location, economic status and ability of management. In a highly disaster susceptible developing country like Bangladesh, many individuals experience a greater rate of natural disasters with devastating health effects. Compare with men, women have a higher incidence of mortality and health effects following natural disasters. The study aims to explore women’s experience of physical and psychological health vulnerabilities with primary causes in natural disaster-affected areas of Bangladesh.Methods and analysisThis is an exploratory mixed-method study comprising survey and in-depth interviews with equal priority to identify physical and psychological health vulnerabilities of women living in natural disaster-affected areas of Bangladesh. Quantitative data will be collected using self-administered sociodemographic and perceived severity instrument, 12-item Short-Form, Impact of Event Scale-Revised and Brief Coping Scale, while specific open-ended guidelines will be used for the qualitative part. The instruments will be translated into Bangla following the Brislin (1970) model of translation. The survey will be administered in paper copies, with at least 384 respondents, whereas 30 participants will be in-depth interviewed using an audio recorder. Survey data will be analysed using SPSS V.25 following descriptive and inferential statistics as required. The recorded open-ended responses will be transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Finally, both data sets will be integrated and synthesised according to the sequential mixed-method approach.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been reviewed and approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the University of New England. The results will be actively disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations, social media, the internet and various community engagement activities.
