Major Field of Science: | Medical and Health Sciences | Field Category: | Clinical Medicine | Keywords: | Anxiety;Burnout;Depression;Intensive care;Nursing;Professional;Review;Team | Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2015 | Source: | Revista da Escola de Enfermagem, Volume 49, Issue 5, 2015, Pages 847-857 | DOI: | 10.1590/S0080-623420150000500020 | Journal: | Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP | Abstract: | Objective: To systematically review evidence on dysfunctional psychological responses of Intensive Care Units nurses (ICUNs), with focus on anxiety and depressive symptoms and related factors. Method: A literature search was performed in CINAHL, PubMed and Scopus databases, from 1999 to present, along with a critical appraisal and synthesis of all relevant data. The following key words, separately and in combination, were used: "mental status" "depressive symptoms" "anxiety" "ICU nurses" "PTSD" "burnout" "compassion fatigue" "psychological distress". Results: Thirteen quantitative studies in English and Greek were included. The results suggested increased psychological burden in ICUNs compared to other nursing specialties, as well as to the general population. Conclusions: Studies investigating psychological responses of ICUNs are limited, internationally. Future longitudinal and intervention studies will contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/9566 | ISSN: | 00806234 | Rights: | Creative Commons License This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology National and Kapodistrian University of Athens Clinical Cardiologist |
