Addressing Nurses' Professional Quality of Life: An Innovative Writing Workshop
International Journal for Human Caring(2020)
Abstract
Nurses' exposure to suffering reduces professional quality of life, negatively impacting patient outcomes, decreasing retention, and weakening the workforce. Tell Well is a creative writing workshop designed to address Professional Quality of Life. Through improvisation, text analysis, writing, and peer-critique, nine registered nurses built a writing practice that can be a self-care tool. A survey measured the extent to which participants integrated writing into their life and their perception of how their relationship with work changed. Tell Well honored nurses' experiences, provided a forum for them to express themselves and their experiences, and encouraged nurses to engage in self-care and discovery.
