Abstract

A greater understanding of the connection between a patient's history of trauma and the effects of that trauma on the patient's current mental illness can be gained by nurses who gain experience working in a trauma unit. One of the goals of this discussion is to find ways to provide care to patients without potentially further traumatising them. This educational discussion has the potential to provide nurses with content that describes the interplay of the neurological, biological, psychological, and social effects of trauma, which may reduce the likelihood of retraumatization. [This] discussion can be used to: It is unknown how the multidisciplinary nature of emergency departments (EDs) translates into clinical practise for nurses working in those departments. However, before emergency department nurses can begin working in the field, they must first receive an education that is both meaningful and specific to the role they will play. As a result, the purpose of this discussion was to assess the capabilities of emergency department nurses in terms of emergency management. Methods: This discussion was carried out in the form of exploratory research using a descriptive study layout. The pre-education and post-education questionnaires each had 18 questions, which allowed for the collection of quantitative data. The numbers show that there were a total of 34 emergency department nurses who took part in this education discussion. After the discussion, there was a significant change (p 0.01, r 0.35) in nine of the items in the list of eighteen. The perceived effectiveness of evaluating the role and emergency management skills of ED nurses was the primary point of contention in this argument. The nurses working in emergency departments became more knowledgeable about the impact that traumatic experiences can have on an individual's mental health. However, providing care to trauma patients in an emergency department setting was a significant challenge, and the primary reason for this was the limited amount of time that was available on a daily basis environment of the emergency department (ED) and the high volume of patients who may have multiple and/or complex presentations. Despite this, nurses played an important part in reducing the likelihood of the patients experiencing further trauma.
