NURS FPX 4010 Assessment 2 Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification
Burnout often results in decreased productivity, and increased absenteeism, all of which
have a negative impact on healthcare workers and patient care. According to the interview,
burnout is an issue for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary strategy would be most
suitable. Nurse Sharon brought attention to this problem when she discussed how staff
performance and patient care are impacted by staff burnout and because healthcare worker’s
burnout has worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the issue of healthcare workers’
burnout is caused by multiple factors and players, an interdisciplinary approach is the best to
solve this problem. Several interventions including stress reduction maneuvers, mindfulness
exercises, and counseling have been used to assist employees in processing and managing their
burnout experiences. Also, research has demonstrated that participation in mindfulness-based
stress reduction (MBSR) programs can considerably lessen burnout symptoms and enhance
mental health professionals’ emotional well-being. Overall, initiatives that provide emotional
support like Peer group support, resiliency training, and counseling help nurses share
experiences, support one another, and create coping mechanisms. Such programs can help nurses
to manage the mental and emotional demands of their work (Pollock et al. 2020), However, the
most effective interventions need to be delivered in an interdisciplinary and coordinated manner.
Faculty Comments:I liked that you gave a good summary of your interview with nurse Sharon. For a distinguished score, a discussion of strategies that you used in your interview to ensure that enough information was gathered was needed.
