  • Title: Hidden Grief and Lasting Emotions in Emergency Department Nurses.
    Author: Schwab D, Napolitano N, Chevalier K, Pettorini-D'Amico S.
    Journal: Creat Nurs; 2016 Nov 01; 22(4):249-253. PubMed ID: 29195538.
    Abstract:
    The emergency department (ED) environment poses unique risks to developing moral distress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in nurses. This impacts ED registered nurses' (RNs') ability to remain resilient. The purpose of this article is to explore the benefit of recognizing the signs and symptoms of burnout, introduce interventions to combat PTSD, and improve resiliency in ED RNs. The use of the wounded healer theory provides a framework to help nurse managers develop strategies such as critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) to address emotional distress.
