Sexual abuse: giving support to nurses.
Nurses dealing with people who have been sexually abused as children need strong support and supervision systems to enable them to cope with the feelings of helplessness and sadness that can arise. Such a system has been set up at a psychiatric day hospital in London to help nurses provide consistent, long-term and non-judgemental care.
