Mitigating Burnout in Nursing and Associated Healthcare Staff

The Zen Den - Mitigating Burnout in Nursing and Associated Healthcare Staff

Workplace stress for healthcare workers is at an all-time high and the COVID-19 Pandemic magnified and amplified the impact of stress and burnout on health care workers, especially for frontline staff such as nurses. There are multiple external and individual factors that affect clinician well-being, and organizational factors are an important aspect to address when attempting to mitigate nurse burnout and improve well-being. This project seeks to expand two interventions that were piloted in the last few years since the Covid-19 Pandemic, validated to show improvement in staff well-being and decreased feelings of burnout following the interventions, and are easily implemented to benefit nurses and other multidisciplinary health care workers and students in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
