Abstract
Decreasing burnout and increasing resiliency in nursing is a trending priority for health care organizations. Three of the adult critical care units across the system implemented relationship-based care interventions including reigniting the spirit of caring, reflection rounds, and structured staff breaks following a patient’s demise. Findings showed improvement or maintenance of all metrics reviewed. The results support a structured approach to improving culture with a focus on the relationship-based care philosophies of care of self, care of coworkers, and care of patients.
