Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing knowledge of people\'s vulnerability following natural disasters, the perspective of older people has received limited attention. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of older people encountering the 2018 Lombok earthquakes.
METHODS: This exploratory qualitative study involved 16 older people living in one of the villages most affected by the 2018 earthquakes in Lombok Island, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Indonesia. The data were collected in June 2019 using semi-structured interviews. Participants\' responses were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim for analysis. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis managed in NVivo.
RESULTS: From older people\'s perspectives, three themes were generated: surviving the disaster, dealing with life changes and navigating through challenges and hope. Each theme comprised two categories, which reflected the journey of older people from the early to the later phase of the disaster.
CONCLUSIONS: Older people experienced critical conditions and difficulties both physically and mentally. They also experienced various emotional responses before accepting living situations following a disaster. Nurses should play a role in fulfilling the physical and mental health needs of older people in post-disaster conditions.
CONCLUSIONS: This study can inform nurses and other key stakeholders about the needs of older people during and after natural disasters. Nurses need to be equipped with the skills and abilities to identify and meet the needs of older people in difficult situations and with limited resources.

摘要：
背景：尽管人们对自然灾害后的脆弱性的了解越来越多，老年人的观点受到的关注有限。这项研究旨在探索老年人遇到2018年龙目岛地震的看法和经验。
方法：这项探索性定性研究涉及16位居住在龙目岛2018年地震影响最严重的村庄之一的老年人，努沙登加拉巴拉特，印度尼西亚。数据是在2019年6月使用半结构化访谈收集的。参与者的回答被数字记录和逐字转录用于分析。使用NVivo管理的定性内容分析对数据进行分析。
结果：从老年人的角度来看，产生了三个主题:在灾难中幸存下来，应对生活变化，在挑战和希望中导航。每个主题包括两个类别，这反映了老年人从灾难早期到后期的旅程。
结论：老年人在身体和精神上都经历了危急的状况和困难。在接受灾难后的生活状况之前，他们还经历了各种情绪反应。护士应在灾后条件下满足老年人的身心健康需求方面发挥作用。
结论：这项研究可以使护士和其他主要利益相关者了解自然灾害期间和之后老年人的需求。护士需要具备技能和能力，以在困难的情况下和有限的资源下识别和满足老年人的需求。
