Australian civilian hospital nurses’ lived experience of the out-of-hospital environment following a disaster: Psychosocial aspects.

I presented at the WADEM World Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine on some findings from my PhD studies. In particular, this presentation focused on some psychosocial aspect of being a nurse following a disaster. At the end of the presentation I suggest that we need to have:
1) Specialist healthcare professionals to provide psychosocial support to people in disaster-affected communities.
2) Strategies to assist nurses to have psychosocial support for themselves.
