Resilience Room Use and Its Effect on Distress Among Nurses and Allied Staff
Summary
Resilience rooms significantly reduced emotional distress in hospital staff, particularly those with lower burnout levels. Early engagement with these spaces offers the most benefit for staff well-being.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Management
- Occupational Health
- Nursing Research
Background:
- Addressing nationwide nursing shortages necessitates research into staff burnout and resilience.
- Resilience rooms were implemented in neuroscience units to support staff emotional health.
- Understanding the impact of these interventions is crucial for talent retention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of resilience rooms in reducing emotional distress among hospital staff.
- To identify which staff demographics or burnout levels benefit most from resilience room use.
Main Methods:
- Electronic badge readers tracked 1988 resilience room uses in neuroscience units starting January 2021.
- 396 staff completed post-use surveys on demographics, burnout, and emotional distress.
- Data analysis correlated resilience room use with changes in emotional distress levels.
Main Results:
- Intensive care unit nurses and nurse leaders were primary users.
- Over half of users had more than 10 years of experience.
- Emotional distress decreased by 49.4% after room use, with the largest reduction (72.5%) in staff reporting low burnout.
Conclusions:
- Resilience room utilization is linked to substantial reductions in staff emotional distress.
- Early and proactive use of resilience rooms appears most effective.
- Interventions supporting staff well-being are vital for healthcare settings facing shortages.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...
