Show moreNurse leaders need to possess stress management skills to support their effective and successful management of their patient service units. Meditation is frequently cited within the literature as an option for a number of workforces to cultivate being present, and recognizing and reducing stress. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of a personal systematic meditation practice for nurse leaders on their reported stress, mindfulness, sense of control and self-esteem and patient satisfaction on the nursing units they manage. The study employs a repeated measures intervention design for nurse leaders at two sites with a mixed method integrated approach. Focus group interviews, patient satisfaction scores and four valid instruments are used for data collection at baseline, week 6 and week 12; the instruments Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale (MAAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSE) and Locus of Control (LOC).

Show moreThe highly complex role of the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) requires the refinement of a multitude of competencies and leadership skills in this unprecedented time of healthcare reform. As the senior most patient advocate in our medical centers the CNO is responsible for translating research into practice, policy development and implementation creating value based patient-centric strategies to transform health care. The ability to sustain and thrive in this role is essential in repositioning nursing as a knowledgeable discipline actively contributing to the redesign of healthcare. This exploratory descriptive phenomenological study was designed to explore and describe the elements that contribute to the sustainment of CNOs in their practice of nurse executive leadership. Ray’s (1989) Theory of Bureaucratic Caring, Authentic Leadership Theory (Wong & Cummings, 2009), and Resiliency Theory (Earvolino- Ramirez (2007) provided the theoretical lens through which this study was grounded. Semi-structured telephonic interviews were conducted with twenty CNOs all with two consecutive years experience in their current role. Six themes emerged after thorough content analysis which describes the lived experience of sustainment. Each theme was supported by several subthemes. Themes emerged as: Loving the Profession, Having a Broader Impact Reflecting on One’s Own Work, Learning to Manage Conflict, Maintaining Work/Life Balance Working with Supportive Leaders.
