Nurses often state that they do not feel empowered by management when decisions need to be made. Instead, they feel that their expertise is compromised by poor leadership and role confusion in general.
Let’s be honest, caregiving itself can be quite emotionally draining. This combined with the many interpersonal relationships that develop at work (colleagues, patients, families etc.) can also become catalysts of stress for many nurses. Difficult or tragic situations, such as caring for and communicating with a person who is dying, also present emotional challenges for nurses. While societal changes, such as the increased risk of violent or aggressive patients, has also created greater stress.
It is essential that nurses stay abreast of movements within the profession that lead to nurse empowerment. This will ensure they are better prepared to cope with stressful situations as they develop. The American Holistic Nurses’ Association provides a number of solutions that employers can introduce in order to reduce stress among nurses. View them here
