Trainable Skills of Well-Being: A Nurse Manager Resilience Building Pilot

Background: Nurse Manager burnout is a significant problem in healthcare with many nurse managers planning to leave their role within five years. Opposite of burnout, resilience is the ability to develop coping mechanisms to minimize the negative impacts of stress and burnout. Providing nurse managers with the training and development needed to reduce the effects of stress and burnout is essential to fostering nurse manager engagement and resilience. Local Problem: An engagement survey specific to nurse managers revealed resilience scores at the 1st percentile nationally, the lowest possible rank, indicating a significant need to reduce burnout. Implementing an initiative to improve resilience and well-being, while reducing the risks of nurse manager burnout, is a needed improvement initiative. Methods: A pre and post survey design was used to evaluate stress and burnout. Data analysis includes mean levels of burnout and stress pre and post intervention. Analysis also includes correlations between participant demographics and levels of stress and burnout. Analysis includes the percentage of participants using resilience building interventions pre and post intervention. Interventions: Thirteen nurse managers participated in an eight-week program, offering one-hour sessions via live, web-based format. Each session included psychoeducational information, group guided exercises, and interactive dyad exercises to build connection and support with peers. Between sessions, participants received email resources for encouragement and reinforcement of the weekly topic, including guided exercises to support resilience skill development. Results: Pending data collection Conclusions/Implications: A web based interactive resilience building course is a possible option for teaching skills of well-being to nurse leaders, with the potential to reduce turnover and burnout and improve resilience and engagement

Prevalence of Child Welfare Services Involvement among Homeless and Low-Income Mothers: A Five-year Birth Cohort Study

This paper investigates the five-year prevalence of child welfare services involvement and foster care placement among a population-based cohort of births in a large US city, by housing status of the mothers (mothers who have been homeless at least once, other low-income neighborhood residents, and all others), and by number of children. Children of mothers with at least one homeless episode have the greatest rate of involvement with child welfare services (37%),followed by other low-income residents (9.2%), and all others (4.0%). Involvement rates increase with number of children for all housing categories, with rates highest among women with four or more births (33 %), particularlyf or those mothers who have been homeless at least once (54%). Among families involved with child welfare services, the rate of placement in foster care is highest for the index children of women with at least one episode of homelessness (62%), followed by other low-income mothers (39%) and all others (39%). Half of the birth cohort eventually involved with child welfare services was among the group of women who have ever used the shelter system, as were 60% of the cohort placed in foster care. Multivariate logistic regression analyses reveal that mothers with one or more homeless episodes and mothers living in low-income neighborhoods have significantly greater risk of child welfare service involvement (OR = 5.67 and OR = 1.51, respectively) and foster care placement (OR = 8.82 and OR = 1.59, respectively). The implications forfurther research, and for child welfare risk assessment and prevention are discussed. Specifically, the salience of housing instability/homelessness to risk of child welfare service involvement is highlighted
