Emotional suffering was the primary factor that induced participants to transform their personal and professional selves. Adequate emotional self-management, dialogue with other nurses, and personal reflection are crucial actions that nurses may use to cultivate personal growth, implement ethical practice, interact with other nurses, and engage in personal reflection. Strategies such as caring for patients, implementing reflective nursing practices, focusing on patient needs, and utilizing past experiences enable nurses to develop a heightened sense of responsibility and awareness, thus empowering them to take better care of themselves and their patients.
