Background:
Work wellbeing, also known as workplace wellbeing, is a global concern for nurses, particularly because excessive stress and exhaustion contribute to burnout.
Objective:
The Caring Science International Collaborative (CSIC), an international research network, empirically investigates nurse work wellbeing using the Profile of Caring, a psychometrically validated and reliable instrument.
Framework:
The CSIC framework defines wellbeing intrinsically-as caring and clarity-and extrinsically-as the social and technical resources needed to work efficiently and effectively. The Profile of Caring explains 80% of work wellbeing in nursing without bias across 10 countries.
Study Design:
This research protocol describes an international multicenter observational study that measures nurse work wellbeing using the Profile of Caring and other concepts and outcomes measures.
