Emergency department nurses ’ experience of performing CPR in South Korea
Emergency Department (ED) nurses work in high-stress environments, providing care and communicating with other health professionals about patients in urgent need [1]. Among work that requires immediate action for ED nurses, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most stressful events with a survival rate as low as 20% [2]. Speed and performance of ED staff affect survival after CPR. Thus, nurses who first detect a CPR situation have tension [3]. In South Korea, 88% of in-hospital CPR was performed in EDs [4] and in most cases ED nurses were the first to perform CPR (49.6%) among health professionals [5]. (Source...

Forensic patients in the emergency department: Who are they and how should we care for them?
Violence and crime is escalating at alarming rates around the world. The World Health Organization cites violence and crime as the fourth leading cause of death amongst adults [1]. Many victims survive violent and criminal incidents with severe to minor injuries and most seek medical attention in emergency departments [2 –4]. Forensic patients are victims of violence and crime that require the involvement of the justice and healthcare systems due to the nature of their injuries [5]. Patients with traumatic injuries should therefore be treated as potential forensic patients until proven otherwise [6]. (Source: Internation...

Patient handover in the emergency department: ‘how’ is as important as ‘what’
Patient handover, a high-risk often overlooked activity, plays an integral part in safe patient care. Patient handover is a complex process involving multiple functions [1]. The most important function is communicating information and transferring responsibility and accountability from one healthcare professional to another [1 –3]. Accurately transferring information assures the safe transition of health care from one professional to another [4,5]. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

The World Health Organization cites violence and crime as the fourth leading cause of death amongst adults (Butchart and Mikton 2014). Many victims survive violent and criminal incidents with severe to minor injuries and most seek medical attention in emergency departments (Cucu et al. 2014; Lynch 2011; Pasqualone 2015).

Specialist nurses ’ experiences when caring for preverbal children in pain in the prehospital context in Sweden
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) (UNICEF, 2009) defines a child as any person below 18 years of age. All children are equal and have the same rights including the right to good health. Prehospital services encounter people in need of all ages and with all kinds of health problems. Pain is a common reason for seeking prehospital care. Crucial to patients in pain is how prehospital emergency nurses (PENs) most effectively alleviate their pain.

Experiences of surviving a cardiac arrest after therapeutic hypothermia treatment. An interview study
Cardiac arrest (CA) is often associated with high mortality. The most common cause, besides acute coronary ischemia, is breathing dysfunction that leads to hypoxia. In Europe, 350,000 –700,000 people per year suffer from CA, of which only 5–7% survive (Perkins et al. 2015). In Sweden, it is reported that 13–52 per 100,000 people suffer out-of-hospital CA, and survival to one month is 2–14% (Strömsöe et al. 2011). To suffer a CA can be a life-changing experience with a s ignificant impact on one’s day-to-day life (Ketilsdottir et al. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

Nurses ’ intention to resign and avoidance of emergency department violence: A moderated mediation model
Studies that examined the negative impact of violence in emergency departments on nurses ’ leave and avoidance behavior are well-documented. However, few studies provided an integrated model of how and when violence influences their leave and avoidance behavior. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

Nurses ’ Intention to Resign and Avoidance of Emergency Department Violence: A Moderated Mediation Model
Workplace violence is a major global issue [1,2]. Emergency department (ED) violence is broadly defined as verbal violence, threats of violence, and violent behavior perpetrated by patients, families, doctors, and nurses [3]. Emergency department nurses (EDNs) are at high risk of experiencing violent incidents [2,4]. This not only threatens them and affect the quality of medical care but could also lead to resignation, affecting professional development [2,5,6]. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

Violence towards emergency nurses: A narrative review of theories and frameworks
Workplace Violence (WPV) in the health environment is a growing issue worldwide [1], so that, in view of the severe and relevant consequences, many important international organizations rank at the top of the global public health agenda [2,3]. In particular, the emergency department has been identified as a high-risk setting for WPV [4] and emergency nurses are the most exposed to this phenomenon [5,6]. Several studies focus on this specific topic, as evidenced by the growing production of scientific research on the subject (Fig. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)

Workplace bullying in emergency nursing: Development of a grounded theory using situational analysis
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recognizes that the workplace environment is a crucial factor in the ability of registered nurses (RNs) to provide safe and effective care [1]. Dysfunctional work environments in which bullying occurs can have a significant impact on the ability of RNs to safely and effectively care for patients. (Source: International Emergency Nursing)
