Zusammenfassung
There are many issues confronting nurses and midwives in their working lives that negatively affect the workplace. These factors contribute to a context of workplace adversity, and to perceptions of the workplace as being challenging, demanding and at times even abusive to employees. Personal resilience describes the capacity to weather significant change or adversity. This intervention-based project trialled and evaluated a work-based intervention to enhance personal resilience in nurses and midwives. The aim of the intervention was to build personal resilience that could assist participants to remain productive and thrive in the face of workplace adversity that included rapid and imposed, ongoing organizational change. The project was conducted in a single specialist unit that comprised several in-patient hospital wards within a large teaching and referral hospital in a large Australian city. Multiple interventions aimed at enhancing personal resilience were introduced over a nine-month cycle, and the total cycle was run twice with each cycle involving different cohorts. Participants were followed up at six months after completion of the total intervention. Findings revealed the intervention had positive effects and the nurses and midwives who participated reported enhanced job satisfaction, general health and personal morale. Findings from this study contribute to our understandings of workplace adversity and personal resilience in nurses and midwives.
