The Weight of Scrubs: Nurses and the Trauma of Violence

Moman et al. (2020) revealed that in a study conducted by the United States Veterans Health Administration, through distributing surveys at a pain management conference, providers reported that 41% of assaults on healthcare workers occur in inpatient psychiatric units, yet 59% of assaults occur elsewhere within healthcare institutions. Kiymaz and Koç (2023) used a mixed-methods study to research WPV among emergency department (ED) nurses and how WPV correlated to occupational commitment and intention to resign. Kiymaz and Koç determined that emotional commitment to the nursing profession might decrease, and nurses' intention to resign may rise as exposure to aggression and violence increases.

but face unseen dangers. "The Scars We Carry" unveils the harrowing reality of workplace violence against nurses, urging action for their safety and well-being. Buy it to understand, advocate, and protect.

Professor Shireen, for your Surgical Technology course, I propose "AR in Surgery: Planning the Future." This book explores how Augmented Reality (AR) is revolutionizing surgery. Imagine surgeons using AR overlays to visualize real-time anatomy during operations, improving decision-making and minimizing complications. The book dives into these applications, along with AR's role in surgical planning and simulation, allowing surgeons to virtually rehearse procedures beforehand. But "AR in Surgery" isn't just about the tech. It explores the potential benefits for patients, like reduced invasiveness and faster recovery. We'll delve into ongoing research and development, looking towards a future where AR transforms surgery. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in cutting-edge surgical advancements, the potential of AR to reshape surgical practices, and the exciting future of technology collaborating with human expertise in the operating room.
