The role of resiliency and coping strategies in occurrence of positive changes in medical rescue workers
It is accepted that workers in the emergency services, firefighters, police officers and medical rescue workers, are at risk of experiencing traumatic events as part of their professional duties. These are most commonly associated with the need to save lives and health, or confront death. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) classification [1] regards a traumatic event is a stressor, either in terms of it being a direct experience with death, a threat to life, or a witness to such events.

A model for developing postgraduate trauma and emergency nursing capacity in a resource-constrained setting
The development of nursing in sub-Saharan Africa continues to be dogged by a multitude of factors ranging from high-level political control to the wide scale under-resourcing of nursing, resulting in critical nursing shortages [1]. Low- income, sub-Saharan countries such as Mozambique and Malawi are particularly at risk. Unlike Malawi, growth of the nursing profession in Mozambique is stunted primarily by slow progress towards professional autonomy and the lack of formal study opportunities for nurses and midwives.

Absence of evidence-based and person-centred guidelines in the Swedish Emergency Medical Services – a patient safety issue?
The rationale behind this contemporary issues paper is that the Swedish Emergency Medical Services ’ (EMS) quality measures and new ways of organising assessment and patient care pathways are have the potential to create a high risk of negatively affecting important aspects of patient safety. An example is the implementation of new medical guidelines before research and especially the fact that the patient perspective is not mentioned at all. The latter is highly problematic as the relationship between the patient and the care giver forms the basis of all care. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

This American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN) text provides an excellent overview for any healthcare professionals working with critically ill patients. The majority of contributors work in clinical roles in critical care and they are able to provide the important practical components. The text has taken the expanding use of procedures into consideration with this edition and incorporated the many new devices and technologies that we now see and use in acute care settings including for example; arterial catheter insertion, ECMO, oesophageal cardiac output monitoring and thoracentesis.

The care of patients assessed as not in need of emergency ambulance care – Registered nurses’ lived experiences
The Emergency Medical Service (EMS) provides advanced medical care to out-of-hospital patients [1], within or in direct connection to an ambulance vehicle. In Sweden the assessment of patients ’ need of EMS is made by the medical dispatch centres, using three priority levels: 1) acute life threatening conditions or accidents, 2) acute but non life-threatening conditions, and 3) other conditions requiring advanced care where it is judged that a longer response time will not negatively in fluence the patient’s condition [2].

The impact of geriatric focused nurse assessment and intervention in the emergency department: A systematic review
Increasing life expectancy is a global phenomenon with the elderly accounting for the fastest growing population in society. It is estimated that people ≥60 years are set to rise from 19% in 2000 to 34% by 2050 [1]. In Ireland people ≥65 years are projected to double between 2011 and 2031 while people ≥80 years are projected to increase by 250% [2]. An aging population presents a challenging issue for healthcare systems and countries wil l have to address age related matters in coming years. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

Development and psychometric properties of the stressor scale for emergency nurses
Nurses experience high levels of work-related stress [1]; however, nurses who work in different environments and contexts experience different stressors [2]. A stressor is defined as any factor or event that threatens an individual ’s health or reduces normal functioning [3]. In the workplace, stress occurs when the job requirements do not match the resources, capabilities, and needs of the workers [4]. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)
