Modern movements like trauma informed care can disrupt this separation by encouraging us to tap into our humanity, to notice how the work impacts us and acknowledge all the myriad of things we may feel in any given day. When working in trauma informed ways, our approach to care shifts, but so does how we think about ourselves.</p><p>Many mental health nurses have experienced trauma in their lives and may also experience trauma in their work. Despite how desensitised nurses may feel at times, we are not immune to the things we see and do. Even when resilient, we are still impacted by our work.</p><p>There are various terms used to describe the ways work can impact us. We may experience secondary trauma from hearing about things in the lives of people we care for, that we don't directly experience. This can occur from stories, handovers, conversations or reading notes. We may experience compassion fatigue: a gradual loss of empathy and care that occurs from emotional exhaustion. We can develop burnout from constant organisational demands and a sense that there are so many people in distress, making our work feel futile or pointless.</p><p>We can also experience vicarious trauma. Vicarious trauma is similar to secondary trauma, compassion fatigue or burnout, but it occurs beneath consciousness. It is a relational experience linked to empathy (Isobel and Thomas <span>2022</span>). Our work requires imagining the experience of others to understand their emotional state. In doing so, our brains replicate a representation of what they may be experiencing. This is helpful for building relationships and supporting people, but when we do it repeatedly (without the opportunity to regulate), our brains can become less clear on what experiences are ours and what are someone else's. Vicarious trauma replicates a primary trauma response yet, without an anchoring event, we may not recognise it as such.</p><p>Vicarious trauma can result in sustained shifts in our perceptions of the world, which is different to being impacted or distressed by our work. It can alter how we relate to others, how we live our lives, how we view the world and how we think of ourselves. These impacts of the work have long been recognised in trauma therapy fields yet are only beginning to be recognised in mental health nursing. There is still some uncertainty about whose responsibility it is to prevent and respond to trauma that occurs in the course of work.</p><p>All experiences of trauma can feel helpless; this is a fundamental element of trauma. Counteracting this helplessness with a sense that recovery is possible is important. The most significant thing that ‘helps’ vicarious trauma is awareness. When we know that experiencing traumatic effects is something likely to happen in providing empathic care, then the best defence against it sneaking into our unconscious is awarene","PeriodicalId":14007,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mental Health Nursing","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/inm.70354","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148922361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This lack of preparedness may result in compromised quality of care, reduced professional satisfaction and poorer recovery outcomes for clients. Existing systematic reviews have predominantly focused on psychosocial interventions for psychiatric nurses, limiting insights into interventions relevant to the broader nursing workforce. This review aimed to map the available evidence on interventions that prepare general trained nurses to care for individuals with MHCs. A comprehensive search was conducted across eight electronic databases between August and September 2024, alongside grey literature sources, including ProQuest Dissertations and Theses and ClinicalTrials.gov, searched between September and October 2024. A total of 7646 records were identified. Following title and abstract screening, 38 full-text articles were reviewed, of which 24 met the inclusion criteria.

The review found that interventions targeting mental health literacy, stigma reduction, interpersonal and communication skills, and nurse safety and resilience were associated with improved confidence, empathy, therapeutic relationships and willingness to provide care.

Among these diagnoses, rates of eating disorders have rapidly increased. Although eating disorders occur across all ages, genders, body sizes, and cultural groups, the demographic profile is getting younger. In 2015, over half of 5 year old girls expressed internalisation of a thin ideal, and many practiced dietary restraint (Damiano et al. &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;). Then globally many countries have reported increases of up to 40% in eating disorder presentations among children and adolescents since the COVID-19 pandemic (Pastore et al. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Currently the world is aghast as thinness comes back into fashion and visible markers of malnutrition are celebrated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the same time as rising rates of eating disorders, children meeting Body Mass Index standards for being overweight or obese is predicted by the World Obesity Federation to reach 400 million by 2035, leading to urgent calls for action. We are living in a world where both of these things can be true at once. After years of body positivity campaigns and public conversations about weight stigma, a new cultural obsession with shrinking bodies has emerged. Dramatic weight loss is being celebrated, admired, monetised, and perhaps most worryingly, disguised in the language of health. The rapid rise of highly effective and accessible weight-loss medications, coupled with the relentless visibility of curated online bodies, has created what many are calling a ‘skinny epidemic’; in which extreme weight loss is normalised. For nurses, this puts us in a precarious position between health promotion and harm reduction and raises questions about our responsibility and role in promoting mental wellbeing, eating disorder prevention and challenging fat-phobia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The recent boom in weight loss medications means that thinness has gone beyond being idealised, to now being positioned as a health issue, attainable to all and almost expected: if you choose to stay fat when you could access this fix, that's on you. In mental health care, body positivity is complicated by the widespread use (and force) of psychiatric medications that significantly alter weight, leading to physical health conditions, shame and decreased engagement in care (Kline et al. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Subsequently, mental health nurses engage in physical health care and monitoring for metabolic syndrome and may also increasingly take on prescribing roles with weight loss medications. But do we also play a role in tackling weight stigma?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People in larger bodies face a pervasive form of stigma linked to discrimination across settings, including in healthcare. The widely held devaluation and denigration of people in larger bodies is known to cut across nearly every part of life. It is also associated with negative physiological and psychosocial outcomes, with its impacts mirroring or outweighing the harms attributed ","PeriodicalId":14007,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mental Health Nursing","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/inm.70355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148922395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, less is known about how workplace culture and service structures interact with trauma exposure in these contexts. A participatory action research (PAR) approach was used to co-design this study, using phenomenological qualitative methods through semi-structured interviews with rural and remote first responders. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis informed by phenomenological principles to explore lived experience. An advisory group contributed to the interpretation and refinement of findings. Participants described cumulative mental health strain arising not only from trauma exposure but also from structural and cultural conditions embedded within rural service environments. Geographic isolation, small team structures, high workload, and limited anonymity intensified emotional labour. Workplace cultures characterised by expectations of stoicism, ‘hero’ narratives, misogyny and gender discrimination, and limited recognition contributed to moral distress and psychological burden. Participants identified significant gaps in mental health service provision, including limited access to trauma-informed and first responder-specific supports in rural areas. Mental health challenges among rural first responders are shaped by intersecting individual, organisational, and structural factors. Trauma exposure alone does not account for the complexity of distress experienced in these settings.

Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, we interviewed 13 pre-registration international nursing students from an Australian university about their experiences of clinical placement in mental health settings. Analysis of the data resulted in four themes: (1) Pre-existing perspectives of mental health; (2) Experiencing transformation during clinical placement; (3) Gaining confidence during the placement experience; and (4) Overcoming placement challenges. Several participants held differing negative perceptions of mental illness prior to placement, which initially invoked feelings of fear and apprehension. However, as the mental health placement progressed, participants gained confidence and began exploring mental health nursing as a specialty. Challenges, such as racist comments, were encountered by some participants.

Key contributing factors include gaps in undergraduate nursing preparation, with many students reporting insufficient mental health placement experience to inform career choice. Health services have responded to recognised gaps between undergraduate preparation and the realities of clinical practice by developing structured early-in-career programs, such as graduate nurse and transition-to-practice initiatives. These programs combine supported clinical exposure, targeted education and mentorship to consolidate core skills. However, early-in-career mental health nursing practice often occurs within unpredictable and complex environments that can be hostile and emotionally demanding, compounding stress for recently graduated nurses. This study aimed to explore early-in-career mental health nurses' experiences of (1) workplace readiness, (2) wellbeing and (3) preparedness for practice. Using a qualitative descriptive design, we recruited 12 early-in-career mental health nurses from a tertiary hospital in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. Semi-structured interviews were thematically analysed according to Braun and Clarkes methodology. From analysis, four themes were identified: (1) Feeling ready, becoming ready; (2) Finding the right fit; (3) Practising under pressure; and (4) Organisational influences on readiness. This study provides important insights into early-in-career nursing experiences, highlighting the role of placement quality, exposure to workplace violence and organisational support in shaping preparedness and workforce retention. Variability in placement experiences contributed to misaligned expectations and heightened transition challenges. Findings also underscore occupational violence perpetrated by consumers and their family members highlighting the need for targeted preparation during undergraduate education and early career transition, as well as organisational responses to support safe workplaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":14007,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mental Health Nursing","volume":"35 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13535270/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148876194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
