“…The average score of PTSD in this study was 26.85 ± 13.13 (mean ± SD), which was higher than that of other studies by some patients (sample size = 132; Milton et al, 2017), indicating a high level of PTSD among Chinese nurses, which should be of broad concern. Several studies have shown gender differences in the extent of PTSD, and female nurses tend to report higher levels of PTSD symptoms compared to male nurses, making the study of PTSD in female nurses even more important (Qi et al, 2022). First, there was a positive correlation between WPV and PTSD, which is consistent with other studies (Zafar et al, 2016).…”

PurposeNurses are at high risk for workplace violence, which can lead to psychological problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between workplace violence, self-efficacy, and PTSD, and to further explore whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between workplace violence and PTSD among Chinese nurses.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Liaoning Province, China in 2020. A total of 1,017 valid questionnaires were returned. Each questionnaire included the Workplace Violence Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Scale (PTSS-10), and demographics information. A hierarchical multiple regression approach was used to explore the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between workplace violence and PTSD. The mediation model was then tested by the PROCESS macro in SPSS.ResultsA total of 1,017 nurses were included in this study, and the average score of PTSD among Chinese nurses was 26.85 ± 13.13 (mean ± SD). After further adjustment for control variables, workplace violence was positively associated with PTSD, explaining 13% of the variance. High self-efficacy was associated with low PTSD, explaining 18% of the variance. Self-efficacy partially mediated the role of workplace violence and PTSD.ConclusionThe high scores of PTSD among Chinese nurses demand widespread attention. Workplace violence is an important predictor of PTSD in nurses. Self-efficacy is a significant factor in improving PTSD in nurses and mediates the relationship between workplace violence and PTSD. Measures and strategies to improve self-efficacy may mitigate the effects of workplace violence on PTSD in nurses.

“…We compared prevalence from studies with different months of study completion to contribute to our time-series analysis, which allowed us to draw correlations between changes in prevalence of PTSD symptoms and key events in the pandemic such as the availability of vaccines ( Hidaka et al., 2021 ; Koltai et al., 2022 ). We compared survey tools because previous studies on the topic found differences between the results from IES-R and PCL-5 ( Chen et al., 2022 ; Qi et al., 2022 ). Study setting was an important factor to look at because different departments are at varying risks of COVID-19, and hence might be more or less susceptible to PTSD symptoms ( Prasad et al., 2021 ; Qi et al., 2022 ).…”

Study setting was an important factor to look at because different departments are at varying risks of COVID-19, and hence might be more or less susceptible to PTSD symptoms ( Prasad et al., 2021 ; Qi et al., 2022 ). We were interested in survey setting because different clinical settings are involved with treating COVID in different ways, and the type of survey tool was important because the IES-R and PCL-5 assess PTSD symptoms differently.…”

“…1 The COVID-19 pandemic has brought much needed attention to psychological distress in healthcare workers (HCWs). 2 A cohort analysis found that a strong sense of responsibility to continue working, despite fatigue and burnout, has led to higher rates of emotional distress and psychological trauma in frontline workers during the pandemic. 3 The impact of untreated ATSS and PTSD in this population include burnout, unhelpful coping strategies, such as alcohol and substance misuse, absenteeism, and in some cases, self-harm and suicide.…”

Objectives Navigating a high-stakes clinical environment, medical doctors tend to consider trauma and adverse workplace events as ‘part of their job’. This often leads to delays in help-seeking in doctors who develop acute traumatic stress symptoms (ATSS), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and their comorbidities. This article outlines the prevalence of acute traumatic stress and PTSD in this population and summarises the emerging evidence base for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) early-intervention protocols of this population. Conclusion Doctors have higher prevalence rates of ATSS and PTSD than the general public. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy’s early-intervention protocols for recent, prolonged and ongoing traumatic stress have the potential to be a widely acceptable, timely and cost-effective intervention for doctors and other healthcare workers (HCWs), as highlighted in the emerging evidence base, which has grown considerably in response to the impact of the COVID pandemic on HCWs’ mental health. These evidence-based interventions could potentially be routinely offered to doctors and other HCWs within 1 month of an adverse workplace experience to reduce ATSS, PTSD and other comorbidities.
