“…Ben-Ezra et al [28] reported that PTSD rates were 10.5% in physicians and 35.7% of nurses after the war between Lebanon and Israel erupted.

Background: The unprecedented nationwide outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavarius (MERS-CoV) from June to July in 2015 took the Korean healthcare system unexpectedly and created physical and psychological stress and trauma to Registered Nurses unprepared to deal with the viral outbreak. Purpose: We investigated the effects of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and burnout among Korean registered nurses (RNs). Methods: A descriptive cross sectional design using a self-administered survey of a convenience sample of 112 Korean RNs. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised-Korean version (IES-R-K) for PTSD and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) for burnout were utilized. Results: Overall prevalence for symptoms of PTSD was 50.0%. PTSD was significantly correlated to burnout (r = .480, p = .000), especially two burnout subscales, emotional exhaustion (r = .533, p = .000), and depersonalization (r = .497, p = .000). Conclusions: Future anticipatory guidance and management of traumatic outbreak or disaster should be considered for nurses' mental health. Public health and safety at the national level must address quality health outcomes for both patients and healthcare professionals alike.

ISRAELABSTRACT -Background and Objectives: To study gender differences and the impact of trauma on hospital personnel during war. In addition, to test the relationship between gender and PTSD symptoms via mediation model.Methods: A random sample of physicians, nurses and administrative staff (n = 106) that were assessed for demographics, and PTSD symptoms a month after the war between Lebanon and Israel erupted.Results: Women had higher IES-R scores in comparison to men (25.27 vs. 16.18). Gender differences were reduced when accounted for profession. In each profession, no significant gender differences were found. The results of the mediation model showed significant mediation by profession and education.Conclusions: These results may suggest that gender differences in response to traumatic events may not be explained by exposure per se, but rather may result from various possible factors such as profession, education and control over the situation. The results warrant further longitudinal study.

“…[1][2][3] Experiencing traumatic situations can cause posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 4 and prior studies have linked physicians' experiences in some settings to elevated PTSD rates. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Physicians with PTSD symptoms may experience anxiety, depression, and burnout. 6 Exposure to medical trauma has also been associated with decreased job performance and quality of life.…”
