Our professional responsibility as nurses is to enact social justice by changing oppressive structures. However, this may be difficult with competing perspectives in healthcare environments. Deconstructing our identity is foundational if we are to understand how to develop professional relationships with peers to move forward as a collective to enact social justice. A paradigm shift, from one world view to multiplicity, will help us develop insight into our own identities and professional relationships to sustain morally habitable workplaces.Workplace violence in healthcare settings is at a crisis point. Healthcare organization have almost as many serious injuries from violence then all other industries combined (OSHA, 2013; Phillips, 2016). The costs of workplace violence have reached a crescendo provoking a response from several leading healthcare organizations including the Center for Disease Control, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, American Organization of Nurse Executives, American Nurse Association, and the Joint Commission who have all prioritized workplace violence initiatives. To address the issues of workplace violence our hospital embarked on a systematic change to improve the physical and psychological safety of faculty and team members. A multidisciplinary curriculum team developed the Creating Safe and Healing Environment course that introduces concepts to honor the unique demand on team members as they manage the intricacies of caring for others in a hospital setting. The team revisited the complex nature of the relationships and partnerships that are formed in healthcare between the team member, patients and families. The focus of this paper is to discuss the complex issue of workplace violence and review the development of curriculum that focuses the complexities of caring for pediatric patients, introduce the concepts of healing environments and teaches the skills and knowledge needed to co-create safe and healing environments for both care providers and their patients. selleck chemicals llc This paper will also highlight the how a curriculum of this type is informed by the expertise of nursing theories including revisiting Nightengale ideals and incorporating Jean Watson's "Philosophy and Science of Human Caring".This paper describes an innovative teaching strategy and opportunity to foster student resilience and enhance interprofessional collaboration among nursing and social work students, during a Study Abroad Interprofessional Education (IPE) Experience, using a reflective practice framework. This Study Abroad IPE Experience was an opportunity to capitalize on IPE teamwork, communication, and collaboration with the incorporation of reflective journaling as both an evaluative tool for students and faculty and as a mechanism for promoting self-awareness and enhanced mental wellbeing. Burnout rates among nurses have detrimental impact on job satisfaction, teamwork, and patient care. This costs millions of dollars in the healthcare system and challenges nurse leaders to address in order to keep up with the healthcare demands. Furthermore, burnout is especially relevant in our current healthcare climate, as frontline nurses have increased workload and multiple psychosocial stressors during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic (Sultana, Sharma, Hossain, Bhattacharya, & Purohit, 2019). Literature also suggests that mindful self-care practices need to be reinforced in order to impact burnout long term (Chamorro-Premuzic & Lusk, 2017).
