ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic turned the world upside down and highlighted multiple sources of trauma inherent in the role of dean or director of an academic nursing unit.METHOD:
Experienced nursing deans (n = 3) identify common sources of trauma for nursing deans and directors, including a case example of traumatizing events and circumstances triggered by the pandemic. The concept of trauma-informed self-care is introduced and explored as an approach to achieving the goal of resilience and posttraumatic growth.RESULTS:
Based on the Trauma-Informed Self-Care Measure-Revised, specific strategies for nursing deans and directors are recommended in three broad categories (1) use of organizational resources; (2) observance of organizational protocols for employee support; and (3) dedication to stress management and work-life balance activities.CONCLUSION:
To be a positive role model for faculty, staff, and students, nursing deans and directors would benefit from taking a trauma-informed approach to caring for themselves and others. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(8)450-453.].
