In their work, pediatric acute care nurses may encounter traumatic events and be at risk for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This survey-based study examines the potential diagnosis of PTSD among nurses at a tertiary children's hospital with a Level 1 trauma center. Twenty-one percent of respondents had strong PTSD symptoms without significant difference between units. Nurses with potential PTSD had more comorbid symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burnout and were more often considering a career change. Furthermore, symptoms affected not only their work but also their personal lives. Future research should focus upon identifying pediatric nurses with PTSD to provide therapeutic interventions and reducing high-risk events and their potential impact.
在工作中,儿科急症护理人员可能会遇到创伤性事件,并面临创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的风险。这项基于调查的研究检查了一家三级儿童医院一级创伤中心护士的 PTSD 潜在诊断。21%的受访者有强烈的 PTSD 症状,但各科室之间没有显著差异。有潜在 PTSD 的护士有更多的焦虑、抑郁和倦怠共病症状,并且更频繁地考虑转行。此外,症状不仅影响他们的工作,也影响他们的个人生活。未来的研究应侧重于识别患有 PTSD 的儿科护士,提供治疗干预措施,并减少高危事件及其潜在影响。
