SESSION PREVIEW: 8
SUPPORTING HARMONY AND RESILIENCE IN THE WORKPLACE
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, clinicians suffered from workplace-related stress. They dealt with stressful and emotional situations with sick patients and concerned family members, were exposed to suffering and death, endured physically demanding work, worked long hours and, many times, extra shifts, and risked exposure to hazardous materials and infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified these existing challenges by adding elements such as fatigue, increased workload due to short staffing, and post-traumatic stress and anxiety related to patient care during the pandemic. As individuals, team members, and leaders in our clinician field, it is vital that we understand and recognize the impact of these challenges on mental health and identify ways to mitigate each one. Don’t miss the session titled “Supporting Harmony and Resilience in the Workplace” presented by Dr. Marlene Steinheiser, PhD, RN, CRNI®, Director of Clinical Education, Infusion Nurses Society, and Dr. Adele Webb, PhD, RN, FNAP, FAAN, Executive Dean of Healthcare Initiatives, Strategic Education, Inc., as we discuss the barriers to harmony and resilience in the workplace openly and identify factors that lead to harmony/resilience. Take away concrete ways to promote resilience as an individual clinician, team member, and leader.
