A second objective was to summarise and compare the characteristics and effectiveness of these interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Background<\/jats:title><jats:p>A substantial proportion of nurses report PTSD symptoms. Previous reviews have synthesised interventions to address PTSD in military and other high\u2010risk populations, but similar work focusing on nurses has yet to be conducted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a scoping review with the question: What interventions have been studied to prevent or treat PTSD symptoms or PTSD among nurses working in hospitals? We followed the PRISMA Scoping Review Checklist using an unregistered protocol. We searched in twelve academic and grey literature databases (e.g. MedLine, CINAHL) with no language restrictions. We included publications reporting on interventions which were evaluated for measurable impacts on PTSD and PTSD symptoms among nursing staff working in inpatient settings from 1980 to 2019, and charted study characteristics in a spreadsheet.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From 7746 results, 63\u00a0studies moved to full\u2010text screening, and six studies met inclusion criteria. Methodologies included three randomised controlled studies, one quasi\u2010experimental study, one pre\u2010post feasibility study and one descriptive correlational study. Four studies reported a significant reduction in PTSD scores in intervention groups compared with baseline or comparison, when using debriefing, guided imagery or mindfulness\u2010based exercises.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review identified six studies evaluating hospital\u2010based interventions to reduce PTSD and PTSD symptoms among hospital nurses, with some positive effects reported, contributing to a preliminary evidence base on reducing workplace trauma. Larger studies can compare nurse subpopulations, and system\u2010level interventions should expand the focus from individuals to organisations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title><jats:p>This review can inform nursing and hospital leaders developing evidence\u2010based interventions for PTSD among nurses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.16076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,15]],"date-time":"2021-10-15T11:45:46Z","timestamp":1634298346000},"page":"1477-1487","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Workplace interventions to prevent or reduce post\u2010traumatic stress disorder and symptoms among hospital nurses: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4489-9188","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sugee","family":"Liyanage","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care  Penetanguishene Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonja","family":"Addison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care  Penetanguishene Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7368-3090","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elke","family":"Ham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care  Penetanguishene Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7961-0615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N.
