Improving mental health nurses’ retention and quality of nursing practice

该项目旨在通过实施复原力建设方案，提高精神保健护士的复原力、留任率和执业质量。全国精神卫生护士严重短缺，精神卫生护理人员的流失在很大程度上是由于工作场所的压力。作为该领域的世界首例，该研究将比较参加弹性计划的心理健康护士和一组没有参加的护士的结果。在成功试点的基础上，我们期望结果是提高护士的适应能力、离职意愿和护理实践的质量，并减少工作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.
