Summary

This study tests a structured program designed to help emergency nurses cope with the psychological impact of repeatedly witnessing traumatic events. The program combines education, mindfulness, and peer support to reduce distress and promote positive growth. Sixty nurses from emergency departments will be randomly assigned to either the program or a control group, with changes in their well-being measured over time.
