As community-centered resuscitation systems increasingly promote dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), community first responder programs, and public CPR training, more individuals are becoming directly involved in resuscitation attempts, many of which are unsuccessful. Such experiences can be associated with emotional distress, intrusive memories, guilt, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. The impact may differ according to the person's relationship with the patient and their involvement in the resuscitation. This perspective paper discusses the psychological impact of unsuccessful resuscitation and considers the role of emergency nurses in providing support across dispatch, prehospital, and hospital settings. Approaches such as supportive follow-up contact and referral for psychological support, as distinct from formal psychological debriefing protocols, could help address some of these needs, although current evidence on their effectiveness remains preliminary. Greater recognition of people involved in unsuccessful resuscitation and their support needs may represent a further step in the development of community-centered resuscitation systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":40753,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Reports","volume":"16 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149274494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mental Health, Burnout, and Turnover Intention Among Nurses in Conflict-Affected Yemen: A Multicenter Study Across Eight Accessible Governorates.","authors":"Khalil A Saleh, Naif Taleb Ali, Abdulhafith Alharbi","doi":"10.3390/nursrep16100353","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/nursrep16100353","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background&lt;/b&gt;: Yemen's long-standing armed conflict has decimated the health system and subjected nurses to unprecedented levels of occupational and conflict-related stress. The role of nurses is pivotal, yet little is known about their mental health in Yemen, limiting the evidence available to inform nursing leadership and workforce protection strategies. &lt;b&gt;Methods&lt;/b&gt;: A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out between January and December 2025, involving 800 registered nurses from 24 health facilities across eight conflict-affected Yemeni governorates using a multistage sampling strategy with probability-based selection of facilities and nurses within accessible governorates. Validated Arabic PHQ-9 and GAD-7 questionnaires (cut-off ≥ 10) were used to assess depression and anxiety. Burnout was assessed using a single-item self-rated measure with pilot validation against the Maslach Burnout Inventory emotional exhaustion subscale (r = 0.82), selected for pragmatic feasibility in a highly stressed population. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to account for clustering at the facility level. Exploratory supplementary analyses examined associations involving self-rated burnout and reported availability of psychological support. &lt;b&gt;Results&lt;/b&gt;: 52.0% (95% CI: 48.5-55.5) of nurses experienced moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms, while 47.0% (95% CI: 43.5-50.5) experienced moderate-to-severe anxiety symptoms. High self-rated burnout was prevalent in 34.0% (95% CI: 30.7-37.4), and 54.8% (95% CI: 51.2-58.3) reported their intention to leave within 12 months. Psychological distress was independently associated with displacement (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.68-3.17), workplace violence (AOR = 2.84, 95% CI: 2.03-3.97), inadequate income (AOR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.80-3.56), nurse-to-patient ratios ≥ 1:20 (AOR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.07-2.63), and frequent night shifts (AOR = 1.26, 95% CI: 1.17-1.36 per additional shift). Not all expected associations were significant; nurse-to-patient ratios of 1:15, facility type, and type of employment showed no consistent associations. Sampling-weighted prevalence estimates were very similar to the unweighted estimates (absolute differences &lt; 1 percentage point), supporting the robustness of the findings against differential selection probabilities across governorates. &lt;b&gt;Conclusions&lt;/b&gt;: Armed conflict and structural workforce stressors were associated with a substantial mental health burden among nurses in southern, central, and eastern governorates in Yemen. Because the most heavily conflict-affected northern governorates were inaccessible for security reasons, the findings are generalizable only to accessible areas, and the direction of difference in burden in inaccessible areas cannot be determined from these data. While the cross-sectional design precludes causal inference, the findings identify potential targets for intervention.

This cross-sectional study examined healthcare professionals' perceptions of telemedicine implementation in Albania as an exploratory needs-assessment phase informed by Living Lab principles. <b>Methods:</b> An online survey was completed by 1213 healthcare professionals. The study used a questionnaire developed for this project; its multi-item domains are therefore treated as exploratory rather than established constructs. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, Spearman correlations, and multivariable linear and logistic regression were used. Two supplementary open-ended questions were analyzed using content-oriented thematic coding and integrated with the structured survey findings to identify preliminary priorities for later participatory co-design. <b>Results:</b> High future willingness to use telemedicine was reported by 67.4% of participants. Continuous training (84.7%), adaptation of traditional healthcare delivery (65.8%), limited digital skills (64.7%), and lack of clear protocols/guidelines (61.5%) were frequently endorsed implementation issues.

The broader study included 16 parents recruited through theoretical sampling; the present analysis included 14 participants whose interviews provided substantive accounts of the discharge transition relevant to this analytical category.

Parents sought to construct safety at home through vigilance, environmental adaptation, preventive practices, organisation of complex care, and mobilisation of professional and informal support. Four interrelated subcategories were identified: transitioning beyond professional monitoring, establishing safety at home, assuming responsibility for complex care, and protecting the child while sustaining family life. <b>Conclusions</b>: Safety following discharge was not simply restored by returning home but progressively constructed through parental action, learning, and adaptation.
