Preventing post traumatic stress disorder in accident and emergency nursing. A review of the literature.

Nurses working in Accident and Emergency may be susceptible to post-traumatic stress disorder (Rentoul and Ravenscroft 1993, Scott and Stradling 1994). The literature suggests that defusing immediately following a resuscitation may help to reduce abnormal stress reactions (Mitchell, 1988; Wright, 1992, 1993). Critical incident stress debriefing is recommended following critical incidents to help prevent emergency personnel developing post-traumatic stress disorder (Jimmerson, 1988; Mitchell, 1983, 1988; Parkinson, 1995).

Do nurses perceive that there is a need for defusing and debriefing following the resuscitation of a patient in the accident and emergency department?

Defusing and debriefing are techniques that have been used to prevent staff developing psychological problems such as post traumatic stress disorder (Mitchell, 1988). It has been identified that nurses may be susceptible to a form of post-traumatic stress disorder known as prolonged duration stress disorder (Scott and Stradling, 1994). This study employs a non-experimental survey to identify the current practice of defusing and debriefing in an accident and emergency department and explores nurses' perceptions of the need for defusing and debriefing following the resuscitation of a patient. A theoretical framework of cognitive therapy is utilised to structure the study.
