The significance of social relationships in psychological well-being is a well-established area of inquiry within social psychology. Research consistently demonstrates that the presence of meaningful, supportive relationships enhances emotional health, while the absence or deterioration of such connections can contribute to psychological distress. Relationships serve as a foundation for emotional support, identity, and social belonging, all of which are critical to an individual’s overall...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Summary

Commensality sessions improved nurses' perceptions of a healthy work environment (HWE) and recognition. However, these sessions did not significantly reduce nurse loneliness, suggesting a need for additional strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Management
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Unhealthy work environments contribute to nurse burnout, turnover, and loneliness, impacting care quality.
  • The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) Healthy Work Environment (HWE) framework offers evidence-based standards for workplace improvement.
  • Nurse well-being is critical for workforce stability and effective patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of commensality sessions on nurses' perceptions of a healthy work environment (HWE).
  • To assess the impact of commensality on loneliness among nursing staff.
  • To explore the relationship between commensality, HWE, and nurse loneliness.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-post interventional study design was employed across two inpatient nursing units.
  • Nurses participated in structured commensality sessions focused on fostering collaboration and recognition.
  • Data were collected using the HWE Assessment Tool, UCLA Loneliness Scale, and organizational recognition metrics.

Main Results:

  • Both participating units showed statistically significant improvements in HWE scores following the intervention.
  • An increase in leader-initiated recognition actions was observed postintervention.
  • No significant changes in nurses' self-reported loneliness scores were detected.

Conclusions:

  • Commensality sessions appear to positively influence nurses' perceptions of a healthy work environment and enhance recognition.
  • While commensality may improve HWE, it may not be sufficient on its own to alleviate nurse loneliness.
  • Further research and complementary interventions are needed to address loneliness in nursing populations.
