Abstract：
BACKGROUND: This article explores the impact of mental health issues on paramedics in Australia, particularly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, caused by their exposure to high levels of stress. The prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is higher among paramedics than any other occupation, and this could be a cause for concern, especially for undergraduate student paramedics. The article examines the need to build resilience among student paramedics to help them handle the trauma they may experience during clinical placement.
METHODS: This study conducted a two-step process to review literature and university handbooks to determine the level of education provided to paramedic students on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and resilience during clinical placement, due to the lack of research in this area. The first step involved a search for relevant articles, while the second step involved a search of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency website to identify paramedicine programs and a manual evaluation of each undergraduate pre-registration paramedicine curriculum in Australia.
RESULTS: This study conducted a systematic search of national and international literature and Australian undergraduate pre-registration paramedicine programs to identify any studies pertaining to the education of paramedic students in resilience and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The search found that only 15 (5.95 %) of the 252 reviewed subjects had reference to mental health, resilience or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, with only 4 (1.59 %) of them discussing these topics in preparation for clinical practice. The study highlights the lack of emphasis on student paramedic self-care as an essential underpinning for clinical placement preparation in the curriculum.
CONCLUSIONS: This literature review concludes that appropriate training and support, teaching resilience, and promoting self-care are crucial in preparing paramedic students for the emotional and psychological demands of their work. Equipping students with these tools and resources can improve their mental health and well-being and enhance their ability to provide high-quality care to patients. Promoting self-care as a core value in the profession is essential in creating a culture that supports paramedics in maintaining their own mental health and well-being.

摘要：
背景：本文探讨了心理健康问题对澳大利亚护理人员的影响，尤其是创伤后应激障碍,由于他们暴露在高水平的压力下。创伤后应激障碍在护理人员中的患病率高于任何其他职业，这可能是一个令人担忧的原因，尤其是本科生护理人员.本文探讨了在学生护理人员中建立韧性的必要性，以帮助他们处理在临床安置期间可能经历的创伤。
方法：这项研究进行了一个两步过程，以回顾文献和大学手册，以确定在临床安置期间为护理人员提供的创伤后应激障碍和韧性方面的教育水平，由于缺乏这方面的研究。第一步涉及搜索相关文章，第二步涉及搜索澳大利亚健康从业者监管机构网站，以确定辅助医疗计划，并对澳大利亚的每个本科预注册辅助医疗课程进行手动评估。
结果：这项研究对国内和国际文献以及澳大利亚本科注册前的辅助医疗计划进行了系统的搜索，以确定与护理人员学生的弹性和创伤后应激障碍教育有关的任何研究。搜索发现,252名受检者中只有15人(5.95%)涉及心理健康,复原力或创伤后应激障碍，只有4人(1.59%)在为临床实践做准备时讨论这些主题。该研究强调了缺乏对学生护理人员自我护理的重视，这是课程中临床实习准备的重要基础。
结论：这篇文献综述得出结论，适当的培训和支持，教授韧性，促进自我保健对于为护理人员做好工作的情感和心理需求做好准备至关重要。为学生配备这些工具和资源可以改善他们的心理健康和福祉，并增强他们为患者提供高质量护理的能力。促进自我护理作为行业的核心价值对于创造一种支持护理人员维护自己的心理健康和福祉的文化至关重要。
