Recent research demonstrates a correlation between the stress of providing complex health care and the decline of nurse well-being.

Educational institutions can play a role in enhancing nurse well-being by incorporating holistic nursing education principles into the curriculum, including reflective practice methods to promote self-awareness and self-care. This may be challenging for some nursing programs, but the Power of Nursing course can help close this gap. This noncommercial course incorporates key elements of holistic nursing including authenticity, empathy, compassion, unconditional acceptance, and self-care; elements not always emphasized in a traditional curriculum. Power of Nursing, offered as an elective in nursing schools or part of nursing residency programs, provides attendees with tools and strategies to boost resilience, strengthen personal commitment to nursing, and increase well-being preparing them to thrive in any health care environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":13081,"journal":{"name":"Holistic Nursing Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141751590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some studies have shown the effectiveness of the LKM on the mental health of nurses, though more evidence is required to support them. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the LKM on job-related burnout of nurses working in NICU. This clustered controlled randomized clinical trial assessed job-related burnout before and after a month of practicing LKM guided through a virtual method. A total of 66 eligible NICU nurses from 2 referral children hospitals in Tehran were randomly assigned to 2 control (n = 33) and intervention (n = 33) groups. The intervention was performed 3 times a week for 1 month in the form of 20-minute audio files of LKM for the intervention group, and educational files on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic were sent to the control group. The instruments used in this study were the demographic information questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory, which participants completed before and after the intervention. The mean difference in the overall scores of burnout before and after the intervention in the intervention group was significantly reduced (P = .003), but no significant difference was observed in the control group (P = .018).
