The COVID 19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on nursing and health care delivery systems. Recent research demonstrates a correlation between the stress of providing complex health care and the decline of nurse well-being. Investing in the well-being of nurses can benefit the entire health care system. Educational institutions can play a role in enhancing nurse well-being by incorporating holistic nursing education principles into the curriculum, including reflective practice methods to promote self-awareness and self-care. This may be challenging for some nursing programs, but the Power of Nursing course can help close this gap. This noncommercial course incorporates key elements of holistic nursing including authenticity, empathy, compassion, unconditional acceptance, and self-care; elements not always emphasized in a traditional curriculum. Power of Nursing, offered as an elective in nursing schools or part of nursing residency programs, provides attendees with tools and strategies to boost resilience, strengthen personal commitment to nursing, and increase well-being preparing them to thrive in any health care environment.
新冠疫情对护理和医疗保健系统产生了巨大影响。最近的研究表明，提供复杂医疗保健的压力与护士幸福感的下降之间存在关联。投资护士的幸福感可以使整个医疗保健系统受益。教育机构可以通过将整体护理教育原则纳入课程来增强护士的幸福感，包括反思性实践方法以提高自我意识和自我护理能力。对于某些护理项目来说，这可能具有挑战性，但“护理的力量”课程可以帮助缩小这一差距。该非盈利课程包含整体护理的关键要素，包括真实性、同理心、同情心、无条件接纳和自我护理；这些要素在传统课程中并不总是强调。“护理的力量”课程作为护理学校的选修课或护理住院医师计划的一部分，为参与者提供工具和策略，以提高韧性，加强对护理的个人承诺，并提高幸福感，使他们能够在任何医疗保健环境中茁壮成长。
