缅北强奸

By Christina Kozakiewicz, Ingram School of Nursing

The Ingram School of Nursing (ISoN) is pleased to announce a major partnership grant involving the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada 颅颅颅颅颅(SSHRC), Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and additional partners鈥� joint investment of over $2 million in a groundbreaking research project entitled Transforming Nurses鈥� Work Environments Through a Strength-Based Leadership and Management Training Program, led by ISoN Professor Laurie Gottlieb, RN, PhD.

鈥淧ublic and media narratives can sometimes focus on negatives in healthcare and for nurses, but this grant represents a powerful endorsement of the nursing profession,鈥� says Gottlieb. 鈥淲e know there is a serious problem, with nurses reporting dissatisfaction with their work environments to the degree that they want to leave the profession. The goal of our research is to create a paradigm shift from the current deficit-based management model to a strengths-based approach, to help create healthier working environments for nurses and healthcare workers, and to create better patient outcomes as a result.鈥�

This research is centered on Strengths-Based Nursing/Care (SB-N/C), a philosophy and value driven-approach developed by Dr. Gottlieb. Strengths-Based Nursing/Care enhances, develops, and works with people鈥檚 existing and potential strengths to bring out the best in the person, and to contain, minimize, and/or circumvent what is not working. This grant will fund the development of a Strengths-Based-Leadership and Management (SB-L/M) Integrated Training Program for clinical leaders and managers.

The five-year investment is the first partnership grant in 缅北强奸鈥檚 history to be led by a Project Director based in the Faculty of Medicine, and counts nine co-investigators, six collaborators, and seven institutional partners from academic, not-for-profit, and hospital backgrounds.

鈥淣urses provide 90% of healthcare services in the world,鈥� says Gottlieb. 鈥淣urses need healthy work environments to be at their best in order to provide the highest quality person-centered care for individuals, families and communities.鈥�
