1Author Affiliation: Independent Nurse Research Consultant (Dr. Swartwout), The DAISY Foundation, Anacortes, WA 98221.
Abstract:
This review demonstrates the impact of The DAISY Award and how meaningful recognition (MR) through gratitude affects nurse engagement, healthy work environments (HWEs), and patient/families' (PFs) experiences. MR has mutual benefits for nurses and PFs, promoting therapeutic healing and resiliency. MR in HWEs can impact organizations' care quality, fiscal health and influence public perceptions. Nurse leaders should create an environment where MR is a core strategic imperative that impacts nurse, patient, and organizational outcomes.
