Abstract
The goals were to identify learning needs and implement evidence-based educational interventions to close identified gaps to foster civility, belonging, and inclusive leadership practices.
PICOT: How does implementing civility and belonging best practices among experienced clinical nurses affect the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and practices within five months?
The outcomes of this project have substantial implications for nursing leadership practice. Conducting needs assessments and adopting evidence-based strategies improved nurse leaders’ knowledge and skills to foster a practice change in civility and inclusive environments to support nurse satisfaction and patient outcomes. Leadership considerations to mitigate perceived challenges include supporting a just culture, being a catalyst for change, and demonstrating a commitment to civil and inclusive environments. Future research should continue exploring and refining these approaches to support leaders in various settings

Description
Civility and belonging impact team communication, staff well-being, burnout, retention, workplace culture, and patient outcomes. Evidence suggests that enhancing inclusive leadership through educational methods like spaced learning, role-play, cognitive rehearsal, and simulation fosters a healthy work environment. These strategies align with Creating Healthy Work Environments priorities by advancing nursing leadership through education and elevating the contributions and impact of nurse leaders.
