ABSTRACT

Nursing leaders have recognized the need for consistent mechanisms to promote and sustain nursing professionalism. Peer-to-peer feedback and peer review are widely effective for nurse professionalism and self-regulation, patient care outcomes, and retention. Unprofessional behavior has been noted as widespread in health care and the effects on patients, clinicians, and organizations have been well-documented. Approximately 10% of the registered nurses in the United States belong to a collective bargaining unit (CBU) or union. This article will describe how a peer feedback program to address unprofessional behavior was implemented in a Magnet nursing practice with CBU representation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The Co-Worker Observation System (CORS) is a tool and a process to address disrespectful behavior through feedback from trained peer messengers. First used by physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs), CORS has been shown to decrease instances of unprofessional behaviors among physicians and APPs. The research team assessed the feasibility and fidelity of implementing CORS for staff nurses. METHODS: CORS was implemented at three academic medical centers using a project bundle with 10 essential implementation elements. Reports of unprofessional behavior among staff nurses that were submitted through the institution's electronic reporting system were screened through natural language processing software, coded by trained CORS coders using the Martinez taxonomy, and referred to a trained peer messenger to share the observations with the nurse. A mixed methods, observational design assessed feasibility and fidelity. RESULTS: A total of 590 reports from three sites were identified by the Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy from September 1, 2019, through August 31, 2021. Most reports included more than one problematic behavior, each of which was coded. Of the peer messages, 76.5% were successfully documented using the debriefing survey as complete, 2.2% as awaiting messenger feedback, and 0.2% as awaiting messenger assignments (total of 78.9 % considered delivered). A total of 21.1% were not shared; 4.7% of reports were intentionally not shared because the issue stemmed from a new system or policy implementation (4.0%) or because of known factors affecting the nurse (0.7%). CONCLUSION: CORS can be implemented with staff nurses efficiently when nursing infrastructure is adequate.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Crisis plans for healthcare organisations most often focus on operational needs including staffing, supplies and physical plant needs. Less attention is focused on how leaders can support and encourage individual clinical team members to conduct themselves as professionals during a crisis. METHODS: This qualitative study analysed observations from 79 leaders at 160 hospitals that participate in two national professionalism programmes who shared their observations in focus group discussions about what they believed were the essential elements of leading and addressing professional accountability during a crisis. RESULTS: Analysis of focus group responses identified six leadership practices adopted by healthcare organisations, which were felt to be essential for organisations to navigate the crisis successfully. Unique aspects of maintaining professionalism during each phase of the pandemic were identified and described. CONCLUSIONS: Leaders need a plan to support an organiation's pursuit of professionalism during a crisis. Leaders participating in this study identified practices that should be carefully woven into efforts to support the ongoing safety and quality of the care delivered by healthcare organisations before, during and after a crisis. The lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic may be useful during subsequent crises and challenges that a healthcare organisation might experience.
