Abstract
Unemployment is a human concern which requires individual assistance with the crisis, the sequelae, and the treatment plan. Varying degrees of assistance for obtaining information in matters of health, for receiving anticipatory planning and therapeutic counseling, and for resolving the crisis are needed for the unemployed to regain a life that is meaningful and manageable. Crisis intervention for the unemployed is definitely nursing's social responsibility when one considers the human suffering associated with unemployment. Situational crises are areas of concern for all of nursing, but community mental health, public health, and clinic nurses are the ones most likely to be involved in the care of the unemployed. They are in the unique position to identify those among the unemployed who are physically or emotionally at high risk as well as to accept the responsibility for initiating preventive measures to deter disabling health disorders.
