Improving mental health nurses’ retention and quality of nursing practice

该项目旨在通过实施复原力建设计划，提高心理健康护士的复原力、保留力和执业质量。心理健康领域的护士在全国范围内严重短缺，而心理健康护理人员的流失在很大程度上是由于工作场所的压力。作为该领域的世界第一项研究，这项研究将比较参加复原力计划的精神健康护士和没有参加计划的一组护士的结果。在一个成功的试点基础上，我们预计结果将是提高护士的韧性、离职意愿和护理实践的质量，并减少工作场所压力的负面心理影响。

This project aims to improve mental health nurses’ resilience, retention and quality of practice through implementation of a resilience-building program. There is a critical national shortage of nurses in mental health, and attrition of the mental health nursing workforce is due in large part to workplace stressors. As a world-first in the field, the study will compare outcomes for mental health nurses who participate in the resilience program with a group of nurses who do not. Extending on a successful pilot, we expect the outcomes to be improved nurse resilience, turnover intention, and quality of nursing practice, and reduced negative psychological impacts of workplace stress.
