What Role Do Nurses Play in Managing These Disorders?
Nurses are often on the front lines of identifying and managing trauma and stress-related disorders. They provide vital support through: - Assessment: Conducting thorough assessments to identify symptoms and the impact on the patient’s daily life. - Education: Educating patients and their families about the disorder, including common symptoms and treatment options. - Support: Offering emotional support and creating a safe environment for the patient to express their feelings. - Collaboration: Working with a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers, to develop and implement a comprehensive care plan.
