Workplace violence (WPV) is a significant concern in healthcare settings, especially in the Emergency Department (ED). Early identification of patients at risk for violent behavior is critical to WPV prevention and staff safety. The STAMP tool-Staring, Tone, Anxiety, Mumbling, and Pacing-is uniquely designed for the ED and guides clinicians in assessing behavioral cues associated with potential for violence. This project aimed to decrease staff injuries by implementing the STAMP tool at triage.

Emergency nurses face significant occupational challenges that affect workplace interactions. This study examined whether weekly working hours mediate the relationship between occupational anxiety and argumentativeness among emergency nurses. It was hypothesized that increased levels of both occupational anxiety and argumentativeness were associated with longer working hours.

Accurate triage in emergency departments is critical to patient safety and resource management. Despite the widespread use of validated triage tools, decision-making inconsistencies remain, often owing to inadequate or variable training. Previous research suggests that structured training interventions can improve triage performance, but there is no consolidated evidence to guide best practices in training design.

Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare but potentially devastating condition that can result in permanent neurologic deficits if not diagnosed promptly. This case report presents a 48-year-old female patient with a medical history of systemic lupus erythematosus, renal transplantation, and hypertension who developed spinal epidural hematoma after chiropractic manipulation, leading to acute quadriplegia. The objective of this report is to highlight the potential for spinal epidural hematoma development in patients with comorbidities or underlying risk factors, such as systemic autoimmune disease, hypertension, or organ transplantation, after chiropractic manipulation and to emphasize the importance of early recognition to prevent serious neurologic sequelae.

Foreign body airway obstruction is a time-critical emergency. Traditional techniques such as back blows and abdominal thrusts are widely recommended yet may be ineffective in certain populations. Antichoking suction devices such as LifeVac and Dechoker have gained popularity in out-of-hospital settings, despite limited supporting evidence.

Pediatric emergency departments are high-intensity settings where nurses must make rapid decisions while delivering high-quality, compassionate care. Individual innovativeness has been identified as a potential factor influencing caring behaviors; however, its role in pediatric emergency nursing is not yet known. This study aimed to examine this relationship and the mediating role of demographic characteristics.

The accurate and consistent assessment of pain in adolescents is very important for appropriate treatment and care. This study aimed to compare the pain assessment by parents, physicians, nurses, and adolescents in pediatric patients admitted to the emergency department for evaluation.

This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of a tutoring program designed for the development of competencies in novice nurses in a hospital emergency service. The development of nursing competencies is essential to ensure patient safety and quality care. Health care systems should implement programs that enhance competency and facilitate the professional transition of new nurses to ensure safe clinical environments.

Despite efforts made within the emergency department, delays in intravenous thrombolytic time via telestroke remain.

The prehospital interventions provided by helicopter emergency medical services are crucial for improving rescue efficiency and success rates. We aimed to assess and describe the literature on prehospital rescue interventions provided by helicopter emergency medical services personnel worldwide.

Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals encounter persistent barriers in emergency departments, where care often relies on rapid, spoken exchanges, auditory dominance, and limited willingness to adapt communication approaches. Without access to signed or visual communication, patient safety is compromised, informed consent becomes uncertain, and equitable care cannot be guaranteed.

Trafficked persons commonly experience adverse health consequences. Despite presenting to hospitals, they often are not appropriately assisted. A health care system and community-based organization partnered to employ a survivor to support patients identified as victims, offering education and community resources.

Managing clinical deterioration in emergency departments is a critical aspect of patient safety. Junior nurses often face psychological challenges owing to their limited experience and the high-pressure environment, which can affect their performance and professional growth. Understanding these psychological experiences is essential for developing targeted support strategies. This study aimed to explore the psychological experiences of junior emergency nurses in recognizing and responding to clinical deterioration.

Optimally following infection prevention and control practices in the emergency department can be challenging owing to patient crowding, high acuity of illness, and the presentation of patients with a wide range of undifferentiated illnesses, among other factors. Understanding how health care personnel in the emergency department perceive infection prevention and control challenges may help inform improvements in infection prevention and control practices.

Intuition plays a crucial role in nursing decision making, particularly in high-pressure environments such as emergency departments and intensive care units. Nursing decision making, especially in highly complex contexts, such as caring for patients in critical care, may involve intuition as a form of aesthetic knowledge that complements logical reasoning. Intuition enables the recognition of patterns, the anticipation of complications, and prompt action, thereby influencing the quality and safety of the care. Despite growing recognition of its relevance, the outcomes associated with the use of intuition remain insufficiently systematized, highlighting the need to map the available evidence within advanced nursing.

Emergency nurse turnover is troublesome and can affect the quality of patient care. Identifying factors contributing to nurse turnover is considered a key strategy to improve retention in the profession. This study aimed to determine the association among workplace bullying, workplace social capital, and turnover intention among Iranian emergency nurses.

Public health emergencies such as the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic place immense demands on nurses worldwide, with high patient loads and resource constraints. Emergency nurses face extreme workloads, unpredictable patient surges, and psychological distress, yet existing resilience measures may not fully address these crises. This study developed and validated the Nurse Workplace Resilience During Emerging Infectious Diseases scale to assess and strengthen nurses' resilience, support mental well-being, and enhance preparedness in high-risk settings.
