| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: Nurses lack the knowledge to implement strategies to reduce the health effects; of working night shifts. This project aims to educate new nurses about techniques and habits that; promote health and encourage resiliency.; Rationale/Background: Nursing schools and new nurse clinical orientation programs often; neglect night shift preparation strategies. As a result, many nurses develop negative feelings; about night shifts. While the adverse health effects are widely recognized, there is insufficient; guidance for nurses, new and seasoned, to create effective night shift routines. Current research; points to methods for leadership support, nutrition, caffeine consumption, exercise, and sleep; hygiene.; Methods: To enhance new nurse orientation, evidence-based educational materials were; developed with feedback from stakeholders, including a PowerPoint presentation, pre- and postsurveys; for attendees, and an infographic for quick reference of the presentation content. Preand; post-survey data will evaluate the relevance and usefulness of the presentation and aid in; developing further improvements for this project. The Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice; to Promote Quality Care guided the project's development.; Results: This project aims to empower new nurses to incorporate strategic habits that will benefit; them while they are on shift caring for patients and on their days off. It also aims to build nurses'; resiliency and increase job satisfaction.; Conclusions: By educating nurses on how to prepare for and work the night shift effectively,; new nurses can feel confident, resilient, rested, and mindful, and decrease impacts on health.; This will enhance their resiliency, allowing them to provide the best care for patients. |
