Achieving Resilience in Acute Care Nurses (ARISE).

Achieving Resilience in Acute Care Nurses (ARISE): A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Multi-component Intervention for Nurses in Critical Care and Trauma.

Nurses are exposed to myriad stressors, both in the workplace and in their everyday lives, which can lead to adverse personal and professional outcomes. While workplace stress cannot be eliminated, nurses can learn techniques to build resilience, mitigate stress, and decrease fatigue. Organizational employee health, wellness, and assistance programs are all intentioned to provide this type of support; however, nurses often lack awareness of options and opportunities, and access can be a challenge. The purpose of the proposed study is to assess the outcomes of a multi-modal intervention and toolkit, ARISE, designed to enhance resilience and promote awareness of organizational resources for health, wellness, and employee assistance. We will evaluate the impact of participation in ARISE on resilience and other outcomes in nurses in critical care and trauma settings. As a Best Practice Spotlight Organization designated by the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO), this project will incorporate relevant recommendations from Best Practice Guidelines (BPG) related to Workplace Health, Safety, and Well-being of the Nurse; and Preventing and Mitigating Nurse Fatigue in Health Care.

Resilience, Workplace Stress, Occupational Fatigue, Compassion Fatigue, Peer Support, Self-Care, Employee Assistance

Full day (7.5 hours) workshop consisting of a resilience-focused seminar facilitated by our Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) [Shepell], an introduction to hospital based resources including EAP and health and wellness offerings, and an introduction to self-care and self-care techniques including yoga and stretches, stress relief using the senses and mindfulness Half day (3.75 hours) workshop focusing on the following self-care techniques: mindfulness, yoga and stretching, and creative and reflective reading and writing Peer support through social media engagement (closed Facebook group) for 3 months post-intervention participation Five online, instructor-guided mindfulness sessions (Zoom)

Mindfulness attention awareness will be measured using the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MASS).

For each component of the intervention, and for the ARISE program as a whole, we will ask participants to rate utility, satisfaction, and frequency of use of intervention components.
