Databases searched included PsycInfo, CINAHL, Proquest, Ovid SP, Scopus, and Science Direct. The search was limited to articles written in English and published between 2002 and 2012. A total of 1,642 abstracts and articles were obtained during the first search; 39 articles were retained. The results indicate that PTSD is the most-studied psychosocial impact after a disaster. Mental health nurses have a significant role to play in supporting survivors and can assist with the development of resilience in community members. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Issues in Mental Health Nursing, 35(6), p. 420-436 | Publisher: | Informa Healthcare | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1096-4673 0161-2840 |
