Abstract

Courageous Caring Conversations was designed to support faculty wellbeing and a culture of caring and civility in nursing academe. This innovative strategy involves an adaptation of Schwartz Healthcare Rounds for nursing education to establish a culture of respect and caring among nursing faculty. The process is guided by Chinn's Peace and Power process. Courageous Caring Conversations encourage faculty to discuss ethical dilemmas and challenging academic or collegial situations that occur over the course of the semester. The process begins with a shared meal offering an informal opportunity for faculty to connect and establish relatedness. Faculty then enter into a shared discussion intended to provide a venue to debrief the challenges of the semester with the goal of deepening understanding, empathy, and compassion among faculty. This practice supports the development of a healthy academic workplace where conflict is viewed as transformative and open communication and civility flourish.
