Abstract:
:Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is common in the United States, with a prevalence of nearly 8% in the general population and between 10% and 30% in veterans. Despite how common PTSD is, inpatient providers may not be familiar with its manifestations or feel comfortable taking care of patients who may exhibit symptoms related to it. In our combined experience as VA-based hospital medicine care providers, we have cared for thousands of patients hospitalized for a primary medical condition who also have PTSD as a comorbidity. We have noticed in our practices that we only focus our attention on PTSD if a related problem arises during a patient's hospitalization (eg, confrontations with the care team or high levels of anxiety). We contend that a more proactive approach could lead to better care, but little evidence about best practices exists to inform the interdisciplinary team how to optimally care for hospitalized medical patients with PTSD. In this narrative review, we present a synthesis of existing literature, describe how trauma-informed care could be used to guide the approach to patients with PTSD, and generate ideas for changes that inpatient providers could implement now, such as engaging patients to prevent PTSD exacerbations and promoting better sleep in the hospital.
