Such experiences negatively impact individuals' mental health and recovery and incur costs to their networks, mental health providers, the healthcare system, and society at large. Research indicates ongoing challenges in understanding and addressing the complex interplay of factors that contribute to a diverse range of adverse experiences, from seclusion, restraint, and coercion, to boredom, loneliness, and lack of therapeutic relationships. There is a pressing need to better understand the mechanisms of adverse inpatient mental health experiences and identify frameworks to aid in more efficient and effective translation of knowledge into practice. This paper proposes self-determination theory (SDT) as a framework that can assist nurse researchers and practitioners elucidate the nature of adverse experiences and guide developments to mitigate adverse outcomes. Critically, SDT prioritises human psychological needs and wellbeing, and thus has potential to inform rights-based, person-centred, recovery-oriented research and development. This paper provides an overview of recent literature on adverse experiences before introducing SDT. It then considers adverse inpatient mental health experiences through the lens of SDT, providing actionable guidance for nursing research and development.</p>","PeriodicalId":14664,"journal":{"name":"Issues in Mental Health Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"1046-1053"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142035879","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}

This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a mindfulness- and acceptance-based smartphone app intervention among nurses traumatized by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a two-arm, randomized controlled trial. We randomly assigned 60 frontline nurses working in various clinical settings in the United States during the pandemic to either the intervention group (i.e. participants used the mindfulness app for 6 wk) or the wait-list control group. We assessed the app's efficacy through outcome measures of PTSD symptom severity, experiential avoidance, rumination, mindfulness, and resilience, measured at pre-, mid-, and post-intervention periods and a 1-month follow-up. Intervention satisfaction and perceived usability of the app were assessed within the intervention group. There was strong evidence of within-between interaction for PTSD, experiential avoidance, and rumination, implying significant improvement of these outcomes for the intervention group as compared to the control group. We only found a within-group interaction effect for mindfulness, indicating significant improvement of mindfulness within the intervention group only. Participants in the intervention group reported high satisfaction levels and perceived usability with the app. Findings highlight that mindfulness- and acceptance-based smartphone apps can improve PTSD symptoms of nurses traumatized by the pandemic.

Together these themes describe an exploratory and unstructured implementation process, revealing a lack of structure during implementation. Such circumstances are known to potentially compromise staff wellbeing, feeling insecure about own professional role, and lack of readiness to embrace peer support workers as colleagues.

Occupational burnout is a common phenomenon among nurses that may negatively impact retention of nursing faculty. While research suggests that promoting resilience moderates occupational burnout and relates to occupational satisfaction in practicing nurses, very few investigations have examined resilience among nursing faculty. The purpose of this integrative review is to describe the current state of the science on resilience in nursing faculty and includes an analysis of 14 studies. Three major foci were identified in the literature: 1) descriptions of resilience levels in nursing faculty, 2) examinations of resilience based upon demographic factors, and 3) resilience and related concepts. Existing research indicates there may be demographic differences in resilience levels of nursing faculty, but additional investigation is necessary to confirm these relationships. There is evidence that quality of life (QOL), components of QOL, and support are correlated with resilience in nursing faculty but more rigorous research on these relationships is needed. Understanding more about the relationship between resilience, demographics, and associated factors will guide future development and choice of interventions tailored to promote resilience among nursing faculty.</p>","PeriodicalId":14664,"journal":{"name":"Issues in Mental Health Nursing","volume":" ","pages":"927-936"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141901781","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}
