ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aims of this study were to evaluate nursing caregiver well-being and identify interventions for improving well-being and practice environments.BACKGROUND:
Healthcare worker well-being and burnout command increasing attention in the wake of the pandemic. Experts recommend utilization of validated measurements to assess burnout, well-being, and contributing factors.METHODS:
Using a descriptive, cross-sectional, mixed-methods study design, an online survey, which included the Professional Quality of Life-5, Meaning and Joy in Work Questionnaire, and open-ended questions, was administered to nurses and unlicensed assistive caregivers in an academic health system.RESULTS:
Caregivers reported moderate compassion satisfaction, low burnout and compassion fatigue, and low-moderate levels of meaning and joy in work. Overall and subscale scores varied primarily based on age, experience, and role. Top causes of stress and recommendations for improvement were identified.CONCLUSION:
The levels of meaning and joy in work among nursing caregivers continue to be of concern for organizational leaders. The engagement of nurses and other caregiver team members in a systematic mixed-methods approach, including using validated tools to evaluate caregiver well-being, can lead to meaningful, data-driven action planning to promote well-being and increase the meaning and joy of the work they perform.
