PTSD rates are higher in Emergency First Responders (EFRs) compared to the general population. However, the role PTSD plays in the life of the EFR's family is missing from literature.
A new qualitative systematic review included 5 studies with rich qualitative data regarding the experience of family members of EFRs with PTSD. Image
Qualitative research allows a more nuanced exploration of the effects on family members and
highlights risk factors.
This review was limited by the small number of qualitative studies available and their methodological quality, but it does highlight a significant gap in knowledge and evidence base to develop effective programs and services for EFR families living with PTSD.
The limited findings show mental health and other functional family impacts, as well as an expressed
need for more support services to be available.
EFR members carry high levels of traumatic risk in their vocation, which has a ripple effect on family members potentially exposed to vicarious and secondary trauma. Image
Ongoing research will allow a further deepened understanding around the experiences and nuances of specific cohorts of family members and carer roles, spouses, children, parents, and other family members.
Inclusion of EFR family members in decisions on design and provision of future research, models of care, and services for EFRs and their families will be key to gain a more comprehensive view.

Effective clinical reasoning skills are essential for undergraduate RNs to practice safely. Image
Poor clinical reasoning is linked to failure-to-rescue and sentinel events in clinical settings.

Methods in a Minute!

During #JBIMethodology Month we’ll be sharing a series of #MethodsInAMinute tweetorials. We’ll begin with key points on Umbrella Reviews by A/Prof Edoardo Aromataris 👇 Blue background with #MethodsInAMinute hashtag and bird hold
With the ever-increasing number of systematic reviews & research syntheses available to inform topics in healthcare, SRs of existing reviews, or umbrella reviews, are increasingly being conducted to summarise a broad scope of issues related to a given topic.
An umbrella review is also ideal in highlighting if the evidence base around a topic or question is consistent or if contradictory or discrepant findings exist, and in exploring and detailing the reasons why. Birds eye view of blue umbrellas with one umbrella standing

JBI’s approach to evidence-based healthcare is unique. JBI considers #EBHC as decision-making that considers the feasibility, appropriateness, meaningfulness and effectiveness (FAME) of healthcare practices. Read below to learn more about the JBI Model of EBHC. Image
The inner circle represents the pebble of knowledge while the inner wedges provide JBI’s conceptualisation of the steps involved in the process of achieving an evidence-based approach to clinical decision-making. Image
The outer wedges operationalise the component parts of the Model and articulate how they might be actioned in a pragmatic way. The arrows indicate that the flow can be bi-directional. Image
