To highlight the development, implementation, and initial findings of a brief healthcare professional support program called "GRACE."
Healthcare professionals face significant work-related stressors that when left unmanaged can negatively affect their overall well-being and contribute to burnout.
Over a 2-year period, the GRACE program was delivered to 8 clinical units at a midsized southwestern hospital. Questionnaires were administered at baseline and 1 month.
Program participants were 36 years old on average, female (81%), and White (68%) and mostly employed as nurses (66%). Attendees reported increased knowledge, understanding, and confidence and found the program to be acceptable. One month after training, participants demonstrated significant improvements in self-compassion. Medical units that received GRACE training saw significantly greater increases in patient satisfaction scores compared with units that did not receive training.
The GRACE program was feasible and acceptable to deliver, and initial proof-of-concept evidence was supported.
强调名为“GRACE”的简短医疗保健专业人员支持计划的发展、实施和初步发现。
医疗保健专业人员面临着重大的工作相关压力源,如果不加以管理,会对他们的整体健康产生负面影响,并导致倦怠。
在两年的时间里,GRACE 计划在一家西南中型医院的 8 个临床科室实施。在基线和 1 个月时进行问卷调查。
计划参与者的平均年龄为 36 岁,女性(81%),白人(68%),主要职业为护士(66%)。参与者报告说,他们的知识、理解和信心有所增加,并且认为该计划是可以接受的。培训 1 个月后,参与者的自我同情能力显著提高。接受 GRACE 培训的医疗单位与未接受培训的单位相比,患者满意度评分显著提高。
GRACE 计划是可行的,可以接受的,并且初步的概念验证证据得到了支持。
