Abstract

Background

Burnout among nursing faculty is a growing concern, impacting job satisfaction, well-being, and the ability to effectively educate future nurses.

Aim

The purpose of this project was to investigate the impact of self-care on nursing faculty stress and burnout levels, overall well-being, and job satisfaction.

Methods

A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design including full-time nursing faculty within an associate degree nursing program consortium consisting of four institutions.

Results

Findings demonstrated modest improvements in perceived stress and well-being, with 66.7% reporting feeling “somewhat less stressed” and 75% noting improved well-being. However, no statistically significant changes were observed in burnout scores or job satisfaction.

Conclusion

While self-care strategies may positively influence perceptions of well-being, barriers such as workload, motivation, and time constraints restrict sustainability and impact. Future projects should explore incorporating organizational-level interventions, extended implementation periods, and larger, more diverse samples.

自我照顾：护理教师的有益干预

护理教师的职业倦怠是一个日益受到关注的问题，它影响着工作满意度、幸福感和有效培养未来护士的能力。目的本研究旨在探讨自我照顾对护理教师压力、倦怠水平、整体幸福感和工作满意度的影响。方法采用准实验的前测和后测设计，包括由四所院校组成的专科护理专业联盟的专职护理教师。结果：调查结果显示，感知压力和幸福感略有改善，66.7%的人表示感觉“压力有所减轻”，75%的人表示幸福感有所改善。然而，在职业倦怠得分和工作满意度方面没有统计学上的显著变化。结论：虽然自我保健策略可能会对幸福感产生积极影响，但工作量、动机和时间限制等障碍限制了自我保健策略的可持续性和影响。未来的项目应该探索纳入组织层面的干预、延长实施周期和更大、更多样化的样本。
