The Implementation, Experience, and Efficacy of Changing Minds, Changing Lives: a Resilience Program for Nurses

Abstract

A nurse-created, nurse-led resilience program was implemented with a cohort of nurses to build resilience and create a healthy work environment. The program utilized an evidence-based curriculum to empower and connect nurses through facilitated learning, writing and reflection. We will review lessons learned from implementing this 10-week course for nurses.

Detailed abstract attached.
