Well-Being Initiative: PTSD: A Normal Reaction to Trauma
|
Prior to 2020, 15% of U.S. nurses in general units showed symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Post-pandemic, experts expect those numbers to double – meaning 1 in 3 nurses could suffer PTSD.
June is PTSD Awareness month, giving us even more reason to make sure we recognize the symptoms of PTSD and know how to lower the risk.
If you suspect you or a loved one has post-traumatic stress disorder, seek treatment and support from a healthcare professional. For virtual support and resources to lower PTSD risk, visit the American Nurses Foundation’s Well-Being Initiative.
