Nurses can sign up for texts using an online forum. The texts feature words of affirmation or resources related to managing grief and loss, breathing and mindfulness, going home checklists, moral distress information, sleeping and eating well, and self-compassion breaks, according to a May news release.
“Nurses are leaving the profession. They are experiencing psychological distress from watching their patients die day after day,” Dawna Cato, PhD, RN, CEO of the Arizona Nurses Association, said. “It’s important for these nurses to know that we and other nursing associations care about them and understand what they’re going through. We are out there providing resources.”
The nurse’s foundation launched a pilot program in Arizona that sent text messages to 4,000 of the 95,000 nurses who opted to receive messages. More than 86 percent of nurses strongly agreed or agreed they found the text resources useful for improving their well-being, and 91 percent of nurses said the number of texts they received were the right amount, the release said.
