Recent study delved into ways of supporting overworked health-care professionals.
Three clinical leaders from AdventHealth DeLand and AdventHealth Fish Memorial in Florida, United States, published a timely, first-of-its-kind research study in the 2024 fall issue of Online Journal of Issues in Nursing.
“Work stress and burnout are reported barriers to quality patient care and job satisfaction,” the study states. “This study aimed to evaluate the effect of participation in a 21-day gratitude journaling intervention on health care professionals’ reported gratitude levels. A secondary aim was to determine the correlation between increased gratitude and decreased work-related stress and burnout.”
