Synopsis

This issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics highlights the importance of preparation and addressing post event issues; the importance of future planning along with the value of the many lessons learned; and the development of best practices from the research along with the obvious need for much more nursing research in these arenas. The topics covered in this issue paint a very broad picture of Nurses’ Experiences in War and Disasters: Lessons Learned and Needs Identified. Some of the articles contain information on the emotional and psychological impact of war or disaster on patients, families, and nurses; the value of good collaboration, team work and communication skills; the physiological and pathophysiological impact on patient needs and nursing care; and ways to care for patients while they are deployed.
