Self Care for Nurses

Many nurses experience pain, stress, and trauma firsthand on a daily basis, and that can take a strong physical and emotional toll. It may affect their mental health, job satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Nurses who take better care of themselves can take better care of their patients. Many studies tell us that it is more than just money that keeps nurses in the profession, Fuller says. Employers that promote self-care and healthy work environments are also on the rise, as we battle nurse burnout and compassion fatigue as a result of the type of work nurses do. There is a definite correlation between a healthy work environment and nurses being able to provide high-quality, safe care that influences positive patient outcomes. More institutions are recognizing the importance of a healthy environment. You have been appointed to chair a hospital-wide committee to develop and implement a plan to start a self-care program within your facility for your nurses. You will need to identify the various available resources and design a specific plan of action to create and start the program.
