| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: This MSN project aimed to decrease behavioral health nurses' self-reported; stress levels by providing education on coping skills. The project was designed to mitigate; adverse stress outcomes in behavioral health nurses through education and implementation of; coping skills during shifts. The project's focus is crucial to protecting nurses because unmanaged; stress can harm staff and patients in all aspects of well-being.; Rationale/Background: Nurses work in fast-paced environments, and the intense conditions are; linked to adverse outcomes for nurses and patients. Behavioral health nurses are especially; exposed to statistically higher proportions of emotional distress than other nursing specialties,; which can increase their risk of developing or exacerbating mental health disorders and suicides.; Education on coping skills can decrease harmful effects on nursing staff and patient care.; Methods: Educational material and deliverables were developed, including PowerPoints on; coping skills, pre- and post-education surveys to measure nursing stress, handouts, flyers, and a; timeline. These materials will be distributed to behavioral health nurses to evaluate the trends of; stress levels before and after receiving education on coping skills.; Results: Three major themes were identified from the literature: Education protects, stress; perception affects well-being, and coping skills prove worthwhile. The project results will; improve resilience, stress perception, nurses' quality of life, and patient care.; Conclusions: By providing education on coping skills like planning, problem-solving, and; mindfulness, behavioral health nurses can potentially decrease their stress perception scores,; alleviate burnout through increased resilience in the workplace, and improve patient care. |
