Labor and Delivery Nurse Psychological Trauma

Limited research exists on the types of and impact of trauma experienced by labor and delivery nurses. This integrative review aims to address this gap in knowledge, while also suggesting implications for future research and policy. There is emerging evidence that post-traumatic growth is possible in this population with system support, yet many nurses are unaware of or have inadequate access to such resources. More research is needed to fully understand the magnitude of this population's psychological trauma and provide effective support strategies.
