“…1 Furthermore, the American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet recognition encourages organizations to promote nurses well-being through healthy work environment initiatives. 15 This can be evidenced through nursing shared governance structures by supporting work-life committees, establishing a Center for Clinical Wellness, integrating a Chief Wellness Officer, or conducting nurse-led interventions to create positive and safe work environments. 16,17 Nurses skilled in exercising self-care practices are better equipped to manage complex clinical situations and have more resilience to the innate stressors of the profession.…”

Long hours, inadequate staff, and increasingly complicated patients make nurses more vulnerable to increased levels of stress and burnout. Nurses skilled in exercising self-care practices are better equipped to manage complex clinical situations. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of short mindfulness sessions (Mindful Moment) practiced prior to a shift, available in person and online, on nurse burnout and perceived levels of stress. The 8-week Mindful Moment study consisted of 20-minute sessions delivered either in person or online that included yoga, self-reflection, and meditation. Nurse burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory at weeks 0, 4, and 8. Perceived stress was assessed using a visual analog scale before and after each Mindful Moment session. Descriptive statistics, pre/postintervention differences, and percent change calculations were used to evaluate study outcomes. Forty-seven nurses agreed to participate, with 20 nurses completing the study (43%). Participants were all female, aged 36.8 ± 9.8 years, with 12 ± 8.6 years of nursing experience. With respect to nurse burnout, there was a −31% change in emotional exhaustion (P = .079), a −31% change in depersonalization (P = .057), and a +10% change in personal accomplishment (P = .331). There were consistent reductions in nurses' perceived stress pre/post-Mindful Moment session, with percent changes ranging from −35% to 40%. Findings from this study suggest that practicing a brief Mindful Moment prior to the start of a shift is feasible and self-care interventions provide lower levels of burnout and perceived stress among this sample of nurses.

“…Promoting a healthy work environment is promulgated by several national organizations and is a priority for many healthcare institutions (Graystone, 2018;Harmon et al, 2018). Although TCP required some initial funding to purchase equipment and resources for redesigning the room, it was affordable with the allocated funds, and there are no additional costs for sustaining this initiative.…”

“…During the nursing shortage in the 1980s, hospitals struggled to retain nurses. According to Graystone,5 organizations that were able to attract and retain nurses during this time were called Magnet hospitals; nurse researchers have described factors that recruited and retained nurses in such organizations. 6 The American Nurses Credentialing Center developed the Magnet Recognition Program, which recognizes nursing organizational excellence.…”

Topic The development of the Critical Care Beacon Collaborative to achieve meaningful recognition. Clinical Relevance Recognizing nurses for contributions to their work environment and care delivery is important for their professional and personal fulfillment, job satisfaction, and retention; such recognition can occur at the individual, unit, or organizational level. The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Magnet Recognition Program acknowledges nursing excellence at the organizational level. It would, however, be difficult for an organization to achieve Magnet designation without nursing excellence at the unit level. To recognize excellence at the unit level, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses developed the Beacon Award in 2003. Objective To describe one academic medical center’s journey toward winning Beacon Awards across 8 units within the adult critical care service. Content Covered The Critical Care Beacon Collaborative resulted in a Beacon Award for each unit and important staff outcomes. This article describes the organization, the process before the Critical Care Beacon Collaborative convened and the desired state, and the methods used to achieve our goal. It also discusses unit- and service-level stakeholder involvement. The successes, lessons learned, sustainability, and growth of the Critical Care Beacon Collaborative are shared to assist readers who aspire to pursue a Beacon Award.
