Experiencing distress is a common phenomenon among pediatric critical care nurses. Expressive writing provides a cost-effective and easily implemented intervention nurses can utilize to address distress as a consequence of providing care for critically ill patients. This intervention may decrease the array of consequences of distress and improve nursing staff satisfaction and retention.
