This program evaluation assessed a caring science program's impact on nurse and interdisciplinary professionals' self-reported caring, compassion satisfaction, and intent to leave at an academic-affiliated community hospital. A 3-session program resulted in self-caring and intent to leave significant increases at 60 days post intervention. Findings demonstrated caring science interventions alone are insufficient to impact staff engagement and intent to leave. Further actions for organizational culture changes are discussed.
