Alden, Lynn E. (author.). WorkSafeBC, (sponsoring body,). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: "The current research program was an extension of a pilot study that indicated emergency room (ER) hospital staff members were at increased risk for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). The research objectives were to: 1) Determine the prevalence of PTSD in a larger sample of ER personnel at multiple sites, 2) Assess workplace factors proposed to contribute to the presence and severity of PTSD symptoms, 3) Assess work-related consequences of emotionally traumatic events and evaluate possible interventions to prevent or reduce PTSS, 4) Evaluate whether cognitive models of PTSD are applicable to traumatic stress symptoms in health care workers who routinely encounter work-related traumatic events, and 5) Examine whether functional cognitive processing during events offsets PTSD symptoms"--Executive summary.
