Central Time Zone-Standard Time Presenter: Karen Burgess, RPN, MPN, BScPN, BA, CNS, Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, MB. Title: Frequency and impact of potentially traumatic events on hospital security personnel.][cid:image006.jpg@01DC8C4C.CE5E1E30] ZOOM LINK: https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/61088144803?pwd=O3OecCzEaaSxM5UiLhGtVAjW7rGuAT.1 Abstract: Hospital security personnel (HSP) operate at the intersection of public safety, healthcare, and emergency response in large tertiary care hospitals, yet little is known about their exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTE) or the resulting psychological impacts. This research is based on a comprehensive review of the literature addressing workplace trauma exposure, psychological outcomes across populations, coping styles, social supports, and the unique role of HSP in Manitoba, Canada. Guided by four research questions and six hypotheses, a quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted using standardized measures with 32 active HSP members at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Findings indicate that HSP experience high levels of trauma exposure with significant psychological consequences: nearly 60% reported symptoms consistent with depression, and 37% reported symptoms consistent with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Consistent with previous research, supportive workplace social environments were significantly and negatively correlated with trauma-related psychological injury. Examining PTE exposure among HSP highlights a unique occupational role that shares characteristics of both public safety and healthcare sectors. This research contributes to the limited literature on HSP and provides recommendations for future study. Clinical and administrative implications include improved education, enhanced understanding of effective coping strategies, recognition of the importance of social support, and greater cultural and organizational awareness of PTE impacts within hospital security workplaces.
