Article Abstract:
Nurses should demand psychological support from their colleagues. A report has indicated 93% of nurses experienced work-related stress. Regular clinical supervision would allow objective assessment of traumatic situations, problems and coping procedures in a non-judgemental situation. Supervision is appropriate for all grades of staff. However, supervisors should be experienced clinical practitioners.
