Given the taut and demanding working milieu of emergency nurses, the efficacy of a new stress reduction program (Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Relationship, MEDI) was evaluated. The sample from Prince of Wales Hospital consisted of 47 (70% response rate) emergency department (ED) nurses of whom 89.4% worked full time and 10.6% part-time. All completed the Taiwan version of the Medical Personnel Stress Scale-Revised (MPSS-R) which assessed their occupational difficulties, job dissatisfaction, negative patient attitude, and somatic problems. When compared to the Taiwan sample, Hong Kong ED nurses exhibited significantly higher levels of occupational stress with the major strains being heavy workload, insufficient personnel, and conflicts with patients and relatives.

520 $a Given the taut and demanding working milieu of emergency nurses, the efficacy of a new stress reduction program (Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance and Interpersonal Relationship, MEDI) was evaluated. The sample from Prince of Wales Hospital consisted of 47 (70% response rate) emergency department (ED) nurses of whom 89.4% worked full time and 10.6% part-time. All completed the Taiwan version of the Medical Personnel Stress Scale-Revised (MPSS-R) which assessed their occupational difficulties, job dissatisfaction, negative patient attitude, and somatic problems. When compared to the Taiwan sample, Hong Kong ED nurses exhibited significantly higher levels of occupational stress with the major strains being heavy workload, insufficient personnel, and conflicts with patients and relatives.
520 $a A total of 19 emergency department nurses participated the MEDI program (ns = 6 in intervention group and 13 controls). The results of nonparametric statistical analyses of MPSS-R scales showed that the two groups did not change differentially over time. However, with respect to the job satisfaction scale, while those in the intervention and control conditions showed significant improvements (p <.01), intervention participants ended the study at a marginally higher satisfaction level than controls (p <.06). Similar results were found on self-acceptance scale with those receiving treatments having higher posttest scores than the nontreated participants (p <.06).
520 $a While the efficacy of the MEDI program was not established, it is important for medical personnel at all levels to systemically and regularly evaluate stress among professionals and support staff. If this is found, then appropriate remedies must be initiated. In this regard, prevention is always the best strategy. Therefore, consideration of ways to avert occupational encumbrance and create more efficacious treatment programs for emergency department practitioners is recommended. Once stress reduction interventions are operationalized, then empirical validation studies must be undertaken.
