1 Increased Prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in Critical Care Nurses On-line supplement Meredith L. Mealer, R.N. April Shelton, R.N. Britt Berg, M.S. Barbara Rothbaum, Ph.D. Marc Moss, M.D. 1

2 Methods section: Questionnaires: PTSS 10 is a self-report scale based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual III criteria for PTSD (Table E1). This questionnaire has been shown to have a high sensitivity and specificity and records the presence and intensity of ten specific PTSD symptoms: sleep disturbance; nightmares; depression; hyperalertness; withdrawal (emotional numbing and inability to care for others); generalized irritability; frequent changes in mood; guilt; avoidance of activities, prompting recall of the traumatizing event; and increased muscle tensions. Patients rate their symptoms, using a scale from 1 (never) to 7 (always). A total score of >35 is associated with a high probability that the patient fulfills the diagnostic criteria for PTSD (E1). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale is a 14 item self administered questionnaire for detecting symptoms of anxiety (7 items) and depression (7 items) (Table E2). Each item is scored on a 4 point scale (0-3). This scale has been used to measure symptoms of anxiety and depression in family members of ICU patient. A score of 0 to 7 for either subscale is regarded as being in the normal range (E2). The Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS) is a 49 item self-report instrument that is designed to assist with the diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The PDS is based on the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for PTSD (American Psychiatric Association, 1994). The PDS translates the DSM-IV s technical language into more common used language suitable for adults. In Part 1 of the PDS the respondents are asked to read through a list of traumatic 2

3 events and to checkmark any event they have witnessed or experienced. Part I of the PDS, which lists common traumas that individuals experience, was amended to include 14 additional potential traumas that ICU nurses might experience. The participants were asked to select the trauma(s) that were most distressing or caused the most interference in their life afterwards. In Part 2 the subjects are asked which of the events that most bothers them, and to briefly describe the traumatic event. The Symptom Severity Score ranges from 0 to 51. The cut-offs for the symptoms severity rating categories are: < 10 mild; >11 and < 20 moderate; >21 and < 35 moderate to severe; >36 severe (E3). Results: The nurses sampled in our study are representative of ICU nurses. There are a total of 429 ICU nurses at Emory and Crawford Long Hospitals. Their mean age is years and 85% of female. At Grady Memorial Hospital, there are 182 ICU nurses and 86% are female. In addition, the age and gender distribution of the critical care nurses included in our study is very similar to the national averages for critical care nurses. Nationally, 90% of member of the American Association of Critical Care nurses are women, and the age distribution is 6% are 29 year of age or younger, 21% are between 30 and 39 years, 37% are between 40 and 49 years, 31% are between 50 and 59 years, and 5% are 60 years of age or older. 3
