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.

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

As the nursing profession itself is feeling the effects of "long COVID," "all hands on deck" is an understatement. The outlook is overwhelming and we may seem outnumbered, but we must overcome. We will overcome. We are bringing our energy and commitment to an individual-level support to improve empowerment, gratitude, and other positive emotions in the profession. HeartMyCare is a mobile app we are proudly introducing in December leveraging the nurse-patient relationship where a positive feedback loop can empower the nurse and patient simultaneously. Nurses will feel more valued when they are able to instantaneously connect the care they provide with its impact on the patient. As mentioned in the article, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. But by combing the resolve of all, we can thrive again. We will thrive again.
In early 2023, McKinsey surveyed over 7,000 nurses to delve into the mental health landscape of the nursing workforce. The findings underscored persistent high levels of #burnout and #MentalHealth issues among nurses, with potential long-term consequences on both the workforce and health. So, where does this leave us? It's imperative to tackle workforce shortages and safeguard the health and well-being of nurses for the future. Failing to do so will likely result in ongoing nursing workforce shortages. Prioritizing the well-being of nurses and nursing leadership development not only benefits the wellbeing of our nurses but also enhances the overall patient experience. #HealthcareInnovation #NurseWellBeing #StaffingSolutions

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

Transformational Security Executive, IAHSS President, named to Most Influential in Security list by Security Magazine, an IFSEC Global Influencer, 2024 SJA Influencer list, and 2024 LSA Top 40 Thought Leader list.
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

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

Healthcare staffing is a critical issue, and a new study suggests that nurses prioritize work-life balance when choosing or staying in a job. According to the study, nurses feel overwhelmed and stressed due to demanding workloads and long hours. Work-life balance emerges as a significant factor influencing job satisfaction and retention. To improve nurse well-being and work-life balance, healthcare facilities need to prioritize strategies such as offering flexible scheduling, adequate staffing levels, and mental health resources. These steps can contribute to a more positive work environment and improved retention. According to a recent survey, 56% of U.S. nurses are experiencing burnout, including emotional exhaustion, and 64% say they feel “a great deal of stress because of their job.” The survey also identified the top 15 contributors to their feelings of burnout, including not enough staff, patient load, and difficult leadership. It's clear that healthcare institutions need to take action to support nurse well-being and address the staffing shortage. What additional strategies can be implemented to help combat this issue? #healthcare #nurses #staffingshortage #worklifebalance #uhcstaffing #unitedhealthsystem Source: https://lnkd.in/gQmKSQtv
