Nursing services attempting to develop standards for their own facilities will find limited literature specific to nursing and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in American publications. From 1966 to December 1994, there were only 19 publications in American nursing journals that provide a specific focus on nursing and ECT. Only one of these articles reported research findings. Twenty-seven citations in Convulsive Therapy included nurse contributors. While the APA Task Force on the Practice of ECT has addressed educational needs of nursing and technical elements of the procedure, there do not currently exist specific standards for nursing practice in ECT. Concerns salient to nursing that have generated articles by nurses include instruction of patients, support to patients and families, safety of patients, assessment of clinical status, informed consent, and nurses' and patients' attitudes about ECT. Nurses are encouraged to join their physician-colleagues in developing and disseminating the information needed for the field of nursing to contribute its own expertise to the care of patients receiving ECT.
试图为自身机构制定标准的护理服务会发现，美国出版物中专门针对护理与电休克治疗（ECT）的文献有限。从1966年到1994年12月，美国护理期刊上仅有19篇出版物专门聚焦护理与ECT。其中只有一篇文章报告了研究结果。《惊厥治疗》中有27篇引用文献包含护士作者。虽然美国心理学会电休克治疗实践特别工作组已关注护理教育需求及该治疗程序的技术要素，但目前尚无ECT护理实践的具体标准。护士撰写的文章所涉及的突出护理问题包括对患者的指导、对患者及其家属的支持、患者安全、临床状况评估、知情同意以及护士和患者对ECT的态度。鼓励护士与医生同事共同开发并传播护理领域所需信息，以便为接受ECT治疗的患者护理贡献自身专业知识。
