Abstract

Background

High stress daily events contribute to burnout in emergency nurses. Strong and informed support systems are essential in ensuring emergency nurses are actively dealing with their workplace-generated stress, through informal social support.

Methods

A pre and post intervention design over a 6-month period in a single ED. A video was created by emergency nurses to orientate their support system to their role and work environment. Its impact on nurse well-being was assessed.

Results

More than half of the participants considered their spouse/partner to be their main support system (n = 52, 58%). The majority of participants found their support system: (i) had a greater understanding of their everyday work (n = 79, 88%), (ii) were more engaged when talking about work (n = 72, 80%), (iii) asked more questions about work (n = 63, 70%), and (iv) reported they had an improved ability to debrief with their support system (n = 67, 74%). The median total World Health Organization wellbeing score improved by two points (7%, p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Emergency nurses’ support systems had a greater understanding of the emergency nurse's role and work environment following exposure to the video. This in turn improved the emergency nurses' ability to debrief at home, experience of support, and ultimately their wellbeing.

由急诊护士支持系统观看的关于急诊护士角色的教育视频对急诊护士福祉的影响

背景:日常高压力事件会导致急诊护士的职业倦怠。强大和知情的支持系统对于确保急诊护士通过非正式的社会支持积极应对工作场所产生的压力至关重要。方法在单个急诊科进行为期6个月的干预前后设计。由急诊护士制作视频，以使其支持系统适应其角色和工作环境。评估了其对护士幸福感的影响。结果超过一半的参与者认为他们的配偶/伴侣是他们的主要支持系统(n = 52,58%)。大多数参与者发现他们的支持系统:(i)对他们的日常工作有了更深入的了解(n = 79,88%)， (ii)在谈论工作时更投入(n = 72,80%)， (iii)问了更多关于工作的问题(n = 63,70%)， (iv)报告说他们与支持系统汇报的能力有所提高(n = 67,74%)。世界卫生组织幸福感得分中位数提高了2分(7%，p <0.001)。结论急诊护士支持系统对急诊护士的角色和工作环境有了更好的理解。这反过来又提高了急诊护士在家汇报的能力、获得支持的经验，并最终提高了她们的健康水平。

期刊介绍： Australasian Emergency Care is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting emergency nurses, physicians, paramedics and other professionals in advancing the science and practice of emergency care, wherever it is delivered. As the official journal of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA), Australasian Emergency Care is a conduit for clinical, applied, and theoretical research and knowledge that advances the science and practice of emergency care in original, innovative and challenging ways. The journal serves as a leading voice for the emergency care community, reflecting its inter-professional diversity, and the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient outcomes. It is strongly focussed on advancing the patient experience and quality of care across the emergency care continuum, spanning the pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital settings within Australasia and beyond.
