Description
Kathleen Martin and Zakk Arciaga present a keynote account of mentoring trauma nurses who work in war zones. Trauma nursing carries much of the load in austere and conflict-hit settings, yet nurses' challenges and contributions rarely appear in the trauma literature. Their 2026 paper, a transcribed lecture, follows a mentorship program that supports trauma care in Ukraine during the war.
Working through a volunteer surgical support group, Martin's team partnered with Ukrainian hospitals and ran bedside teaching in a three-thousand-bed hospital in Lviv. The program set up shared intensive care rounds across specialties, built custom tools to track infections, and spread proven protocols. Language, culture, and supply hurdles were met with adaptive teaching and remote follow-up. The authors argue that structured mentorship builds local nursing leadership that outlasts any single mission, and they offer the Ukraine work as a model for other conflict settings.
