Abstract:
Healthcare delivery is increasingly complex, with frontline leader roles, especially the nurse manager (NM), pivotal for success. This role is highly stressful, often leading to burnout influencing job satisfaction and leadership effectiveness. A quality improvement project, including preintervention and postintervention assessment with a focused improvement event for NMs, in a large children's hospital was completed. Organization strategies to support professional well-being and enhance support for the NMs were identified and implemented.
