The impact of psychological trauma in the workplace often goes unaddressed. The untreated aftermath of these critical incidents may manifest itself in various states of anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and even subsequent violence by the victims. This paper reviews common presentations of untreated traumatic events and provides suggestions for outreach to untreated employee victims as well as basic prevention strategies to reduce the risk of additional episodes of violence and enhance safety in health care facilities, including long-term care (LTC) and special-care units (SCU) for dementia patients.
职场中心理创伤的影响往往未得到重视。这些重大事件未得到治疗的后果可能表现为各种焦虑、抑郁、物质使用障碍状态,甚至受害者随后的暴力行为。本文回顾了未治疗的创伤事件的常见表现,并为接触未治疗的员工受害者提供建议,以及基本的预防策略,以降低再次发生暴力事件的风险,并提高包括长期护理(LTC)机构和痴呆症患者特殊护理单元(SCU)在内的医疗保健机构的安全性。
