Abstract

The Intensive Therapy Unit (ICU) is a hospital or clinic service that has certain peculiarities. Al- though, the work in the different specialties is covered with stress, the ICU is the place where the emotional impacts, the speed of the interventions, the severity of the pathologies, the complexity of the medical equipment and its domain, are some of the factors that generate greater stress. The present research explores through different instruments, explores vulnerability through the correlation between the impact of STSs and resilient actions that would simultaneously act as a buffer for the emotional shocks that appear in daily work in medical and nursing personnel. At the same time, it investigates the traumatic impact of children and the current one on ICU services.
