The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder among U.S. nurses and to examine how severity of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms are associated with their role.
The lifetime prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder is estimated at 6.8%. Loss of workdays, inability to perform at full capacity, and loss of fulfillment are a few of the issues associated with an individual diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. Untreated consequences include early retirement, loss of job, disability, and suicide.
Participants completed an online survey that included the 20-item posttraumatic stress disorder checklist-5.
Severity of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms among nurses estimates that 28.4% have a probable diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder with 15.4% experiencing severe symptoms. The impact of stress was negative job performance impacting mental fatigue and workplace attrition. Coping skills included mindfulness and utilizing social networks.
Nurses are exposed to traumatic experiences, which has an impact on their mental health and well-being and ability to successfully perform their jobs. The impact of these experiences is not differentiated by demographic correlates.
This highlights multiple modifiable factors that impact the severity of stressful experiences. Addressing environmental, organizational, and intrapersonal changes are key components in alleviating the negative impact experienced by nurses.
本研究旨在确定美国护士创伤后应激障碍的患病率，并探讨创伤后应激障碍症状的严重程度与其角色的关系。
创伤后应激障碍的终生患病率估计为 6.8%。失去工作日、无法充分发挥能力以及丧失成就感是与创伤后应激障碍个体相关的一些问题。未经治疗的后果包括提前退休、失业、残疾和自杀。
参与者完成了一项在线调查，其中包括 20 项创伤后应激障碍检查表-5。
护士创伤后应激障碍症状的严重程度估计有 28.4%可能患有创伤后应激障碍，15.4%有严重症状。压力的影响是负面的工作表现，影响精神疲劳和工作场所离职。应对技巧包括正念和利用社交网络。
护士会接触到创伤性经历，这会对他们的心理健康和幸福感以及成功完成工作的能力产生影响。这些经历的影响不受人口统计学相关因素的影响。
这突出了影响压力体验严重程度的多个可改变因素。解决环境、组织和个体内部的变化是减轻护士所经历的负面影响的关键组成部分。
