Abstract:

This thesis examines the responses of one hundred and seventy three nurses who work in emergency departments in New South Wales to the psychological tenets of stress, support and burnout. Several tools were utilised the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Jalowiec Coping Scale and the Bailey Stress Scale. The respondents were grouped according to their place of work and numerous variables were analysed for both similarities and significant differences. Overall nurses who work in emergency departments in NSW reported that the lack of in-patient beds or exit block was the most significant stressor in

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences, symptoms, and effects of compassion fatigue among emergency nurses, and to identify potentially effective interventions. Compassion fatigue within the profession of nursing is of growing concern due to its negative impact on nurses' mental and physical health, productivity, and patient care. There is a notable paucity of available qualitative research related to compassion fatigue in nursing, but available quantitative data indicates that emergency nurses could be especially at risk for developing compassion fatigue.

Background: There are ever increasing demands on the emergency nursing workforce so it is necessary to consider how to enhance the recruitment and retention of emergency nurses. Personality is known to influence occupational choice, yet there is a lack of research exploring how personality may influence the workforce decisions of emergency nurses. Aims: To establish the personality profile of a sample of emergency nurses, and to explore whether any relationship exists between their personality characteristics and time spent working within emergency nursing.

Abstract:

Compassion fatigue (CF) is a problem seen within healthcare institutions worldwide, especially critical care units and emergency departments (EDs). The problem identified in this quality improvement (QI) project was CF, experienced by nurses in the ED. The effects of CF cross nurse-patient boundaries and negatively impact a patient's expectations of having a quality care experience. The Iowa model's evidence-based team approach was used to guide the development of the education initiative for nurses on recognizing, preventing, and identifying methods of coping with CF in the ED.

Abstract:

Compassion fatigue (CF) is defined as a sudden onset of the inability to experience feelings or compassion for others that is triggered by a nurse's inability to separate his/her feelings of stress and anxiety associated with caring for patients who have suffered from a traumatic event. The practice problem addressed in this doctoral project was the lack of knowledge of emergency department nurses (EDNs) related to CF in the work setting, resulting in a negative impact on a nurse's ability to provide quality care to patients.

Abstract:

Nurses are at an increased risk for violence from patients compared to other healthcare professionals working in hospital emergency departments. In this setting, there are multiple factors contributing to patient violence including long wait-times, overcrowding, insufficient staffing, and lack of security personnel. This violence can be verbal, physical, or sexual in nature, and may result in psychological, emotional, cognitive, and social consequences. While there is an abundance of literature that explores how nurses working in the emergency department experience patient violence, less is kn

Abstract:

Background. Emergency room nurses work in an area in which the workload is unpredictable and chaotic. Treatment measures are usually aggressive and the goal of care in the emergency department is to restore physiological stability in a sick or injured person. As treatment measures usually occur quickly and nurses care for many patients throughout their shifts, there is often a lack of time to establish relationships with patients and/or family members. In a situation when treatment is needed immediately, there may not be enough time to discuss advanced directives with patients and/or family me

Introduction: In 2010, of the 129 million visits to the emergency department (ED), 240,000 resulted in the patient dying or being pronounced dead on arrival.

Though care in the ED is focused on saving lives, death cannot always be prevented. Consequently, nurses face many barriers to providing quality end-of-life (EOL) care in the ED when death occurs.
