Specific areas of cognitive distortion (“stinking thinking”) should be identified and addressed: Anxiety, guilt, survivor guilt, blaming oneself for being a victim (for example, rape), and catastrophizing: (Just because someone is enraged doesn’t mean they’re about to murder someone.) Reality should be used to counteract irrational thinking. When confronted with stressors or anticipating challenges, use optimistic thinking and self-talk.
The treatment of a critically ill trauma patient is complicated, and it necessitates the expertise and competence of a large number of healthcare professionals. Delays in identifying the injury and developing a treatment plan without taking into account comorbid conditions obstruct the patient’s resuscitation and recovery, postpone the rehabilitative phase, and raise expenditures. This article will address how an advanced practise nurse can work as a case manager to help with early detection of pathologic and physiologic changes, as well as psychosocial and rehabilitative requirements, and orchestrate a thorough and consistent plan throughout the continuum of care (Greeves et al., 2021).
The Internet’s role in assisting persons suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has grown significantly; there are now multiple Web sites that provide physicians with toolkits and research articles, as well as Web sites that provide information and support to those suffering from PTSD. The United States military has aided in the development of these channels, particularly interactive Web applications for use on personal computers and smartphones. PTSD Coach is a smartphone app developed by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to assist people with PTSD in understanding and managing their symptoms.
