This randomized controlled trial examined the impact of a psychoeducational group program on the mental well-being of unit-based nurse leaders, specifically nurse managers and assistant nurse managers. The program was developed around the themes of resilience, insight, self-compassion, and empowerment to fight burnout and enhance purposeful adaptive coping to reduce distress and improve mental wellbeing. The sample included 77 unit-based nurse leaders. Outcomes included post-traumatic growth, resilience, insight, self-compassion, empowerment, perceived stress, burnout, and job satisfaction. Paired samples t-tests and repeated measures ANOVA tests were conducted to compare outcomes at baseline to the follow-up timepoints of endpoint, one-month follow-up, three-month follow-up, and six-month follow-up. The intervention group participants showed significant improvement in post-traumatic growth between baseline and all follow-up timepoints compared to the waitlist control group. Among intervention group participants, there were also significant improvements in self-reflection and insight, self-compassion, psychological empowerment, and compassion satisfaction, as well as significant reductions in perceived stress, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. This study extends existing evidence that this psychoeducational group program can be an effective intervention for improving and protecting mental wellbeing. Among nurse leaders, it can reduce stress and burnout and improve post-traumatic growth, self-reflection and insight, self-compassion, psychological empowerment, and compassion satisfaction.
这项随机对照试验研究了心理教育团体方案对以单位为基础的护理负责人（即护士长和助理护士长）的心理健康的影响。该方案围绕韧性、洞察力、自我同情和赋权等主题展开，旨在抗击倦怠，增强有目的的适应性应对，以减轻痛苦，改善心理健康。样本包括 77 名以单位为基础的护理负责人。结果包括创伤后成长、韧性、洞察力、自我同情、赋权、感知压力、倦怠和工作满意度。采用配对样本 t 检验和重复测量方差分析检验，比较基线与终点、一个月随访、三个月随访和六个月随访的随访时间点的结果。与等待对照组相比，干预组参与者在创伤后成长方面，从基线到所有随访时间点都有显著改善。在干预组参与者中，自我反思和洞察力、自我同情、心理赋权和同情心满足感也有显著提高，而感知压力、倦怠和二次创伤压力则显著降低。这项研究扩展了现有证据，表明这种心理教育团体方案可以是一种有效的干预措施，用于改善和保护心理健康。在护理负责人中，它可以减轻压力和倦怠，提高创伤后成长、自我反思和洞察力、自我同情、心理赋权和同情心满足感。
