Self-Care: The Key to Healthy Workers and a Healthy Environment

1.0 contact hours – expires October 31, 2027 

Acute and critical care nurses care for some of the most vulnerable patients, but the health of U.S. nurses is often worse than that of the average American. Nurses have higher levels of stress and get less sleep than the average American. Positive social habits can help healthcare professionals build support systems and stay healthier mentally and physically. Research shows that a healthy work environment can lead to more engaged nurses, decreased burnout, lower turnover, and better patient care. The intent of this module is to provide nurses and other health care professionals with self -care tools they can use to reduce stress and better care for themselves. 

Learning Activity Objectives: 

  1. Reflect on the culture in organizations and factors that contribute to stress.
