The American Nurses Foundation Urges Action on Critical Workforce Challenges. Let's Talk Solutions! 💬👩⚕️🚀 Adding onto a previous post on mental health, I recently came across a pivotal article from the American Nurses Foundation that addresses pressing challenges within our esteemed nursing workforce. The essence of the matter is clear: action is imperative. Approximately 40% of surveyed nurses expressed a lack of control over their workload, characterizing their day-to-day tasks as hectic or intense. Compounding the issue, two-thirds of nurses experiencing mental anguish or toxic emotions either do not seek or do not receive mental health support. Additionally, 56% of these individuals note the presence of stigma within the healthcare provider community associated with seeking mental health care. As members who rely on our healthcare community, it is paramount for us to collectively strategize on supporting our dedicated nurses who tirelessly contribute to the well-being of our society. I invite you to share your reflections and insights on how we can collaboratively address these challenges. Let's engage in meaningful dialogue and explore actionable solutions. Your considered input is highly valued. 💬💼 Delve into the comprehensive insights provided by the American Nurses Foundation: https://lnkd.in/g2AeVSyH #HealthcareLeadership #NursingExcellence #ProfessionalDevelopment #HealthcareCommunity #StrategicAction #PublicHealth #MentalHealth #Healthcare

In the past few years, nurses' mental health has shown modest improvements each year since 2020 according to the annual Trusted mental health surveys. When we dug into the specific variables that nurses said negatively impacted mental health in 2023, nursing staff shortages (74%) and nurse staffing levels (62%) topped the list. Many health systems have already started to take on the challenge to evolve the approach to staffing in 2023. What are your 2024 plans to improve your nurses' mental health and to tackle your staffing challenges? More detailed data from our recent Frontline Nurse Mental Health & Well-Being Survey can be read here.👇 https://lnkd.in/g4WjZkQq

Recently, the American Nurses Foundation released the results of its fourth #MentalHealth and wellness survey to shed light on where the nursing profession is today. As we continue to recover from the pandemic, it's important that we have an accurate understanding of where nurses are at and what they need to succeed. Here are some important findings from the report: - Nurse turnover is still above pre-pandemic levels. This is mainly due to insufficient staffing, feeling unvalued by their organization, and inadequate compensation. - 56% of nurses are experiencing #burnout, including emotional exhaustion, and 64% say they feel “a great deal of stress because of their job.” - 2/3 of nurses who said they are suffering mental anguish or toxic emotions are either not seeking or not receiving mental health support. These findings prove that we still have a lot of work to do to give nurses the support they need to remain happy, healthy, and successful. But with the #NewYear around the corner, we should use this as an opportunity to revisit our strategies once again to make 2024 a better year for #healthcare all around.

Fifty-six percent of nurses report experiencing burnout, 64% attribute feelings of stress to their job, and 39% are considering an exit from their role within the next six months — that's according to the American Nurses Foundation’s fourth annual survey of #nurse wellness published Nov. 7. Of particular interest is the fact that approximately 43% of the responses touched on some form of #workplaceviolence. This is an issue we really must focus on, as our caregivers are experiencing burnout and leaving the healthcare sector. If not addressed, this will have a lasting affect on the quality of healthcare our communities receive. #EndNurseAbuse #patientgeneratedviolence International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety (IAHSS) ASIS International

Keep the conversations going... How can we expect our community of nurses to feel supported, safe, and valued if they fear losing their license for seeking help? Roughly 1 in 5 (19%) cite a lack of knowledge or resources as reasons for not seeking help, or concerns about losing their job or having their colleagues find out. Ending the stigma surrounding nurse mental health is a decade-long systemic problem that has persisted through each generation of the workforce. Shifting the paradigm on mental health regarding licensure and state boards will not solve the complexities of what the acute care environment is doing to our nurses... but it's a start. A big shout-out to J. Corey Feist, JD, MBA and the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation for continuing this dialogue, raising awareness, and beginning to remove the barriers to nurses safely addressing their mental health. Let's work together to create a culture where seeking help is encouraged, where resources are readily available, and where nurses feel supported in prioritizing their mental well-being.

Facilitating positive mental health 1 client & 1 patient at a time through trusted personal interaction & technology
💔 If it can break the individual... then the system will eventually break! The American Nurses Foundation survey from May 2023 (~7,400 nurses) 🤯 2/3 aren’t getting any support for their mental health 😲 56% say there is a stigma to mental health services Reasons why help is not sought! ⌛ The lack of time was the top reason! 👩⚕️ The sentiment of self-care was the 2nd reason 😰 Stigma around colleagues finding out & concerns over losing a job persist. 📍 High stress, coupled with the reluctance to get assistance for fear of career damage, is driving some nurses to leave the profession. “If nurses feel that they can't survive in these environments, and then can't seek help, because it would actually hurt them in their career as a nurse, are they choosing to leave the profession because there isn't a pathway to actually deal with the trauma that they're dealing with at the bedside?” Big Health has a comprehensive solution for this pervasive #mentalhealth problem! As a healthcare provider myself, I'm happy to talk about solutions 🤙 Schedule time here: https://lnkd.in/g4wcR9Fc #nurses #doctors #hospitals #healthcareheroes #stigma #digitaltherapeutics

The operating model needs to change. One of McKinsey’s key suggestions to combating the challenges that nurses face is noted in the study: “In addition to addressing workload challenges, employers could provide flexible work options—for example, in shift length, start time, shift commitments, and virtual activities—to better enable employees to recharge from high levels of demands and to reduce conflicts with demands outside of work.” #gigeconomy #gignursing #futureofnursing #myhealthgig

Have you noticed nurses at work who seem exhausted, easily irritated, and impatient or always call in or arrive late? Before you start to get annoyed with them, think about these nursing behaviors. What could they mean? In this article, I address: 🎯 burnout 🎯 drug and alcohol abuse 🎯 incivility in the workplace Many nurses have experienced one, if not all, of these challenges in their careers. In a week when nurses are praised, we also need to discuss changes that need to happen that would make our profession better and more sustainable. Because right now, it isn't. https://lnkd.in/enKUkyfw

Addressing and mitigating nurse burnout is crucial for retaining experienced and skilled healthcare professionals. We see it contributing to high turnover rates and a shortage of qualified staff. When nurses are fatigued and emotionally drained, their ability to make critical decisions and provide compassionate care diminishes, compromising patient safety in some instances. It's also associated with increased healthcare costs - higher rates of absenteeism, medical errors, and reduced overall efficiency. Investing in measures to reduce nurse burnout, such as implementing wellness programs, improving work conditions, and providing adequate support, not only preserves the mental and physical health of nurses but also ensures the delivery of high-quality and safe patient care in the healthcare system. #Burnout #Nursing #Healthcare #Turnover #PatientCare #Safety #Wellness
