DescriptionPurpose of Project: The purpose of this project was to evaluate the current state of nurse leader resilience at a hospital in Northern, New Jersey to identify the types of support or resources nurse leaders need, and to initiate a strategy to help build nurse leader resilience.
Methodology: This performance improvement project used a quantitative approach by collecting data via an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included the Brief Resilience Scale, demographic questions, and asking the participant to rank provided evidence-based strategies in order of their need or preference.
Study Population: This project recruited 32 nursing leaders from the project site, with the final sample size being 11. Inclusion criteria were nursing leaders in the Patient Care Services and Emergency Services departments with the titles of Director, Assistant Director, Nurse Manager, or Assistant Nurse Manager.
Results: The results of the project revealed that 6 participants scored normal resilience (55%), while 4 participants scored high resilience (36%) and 1 participant scored low resilience (9%). In addition, the majority of nurse leaders that participated in the questionnaire (55%) ranked individual activities to build personal resilience (resilience training, mindfulness training, stress management training) as the most preferred/needed strategy to build their resilience.
Implications for Practice: The results of this project have implications for clinical practice in creating a culture of resilience. Resilience nurse leaders can build stronger work environments by building their team’s resilience and engagement, which lead to better quality patient outcomes. Building resilience can prevent a negative trickle-down effect to the bedside.
