Burnout is a major nursing issue linked with nursing turnover and a decline in patient outcomes. It negatively impacts the nursing team morale, patient satisfaction, patient outcomes, and mortality rates (Cumella, 2022, p.59). Consequently, “Effective interventions are needed to help support mental health practices among nurses to mitigate high levels of burnout” (Cumella, 2022, p.58). With the increase in nursing burnout, effective self-care interventions have been proposed to enable nurses to cope with the impact of burnout. Implementing measures to mitigate burnout has been linked to improved nursing retention, decreased turnover rates, and increased patient satisfaction.
Gratitude journals is one of the self-care interventions established to promote nurses’ emotional health as they improve stress management and enable them to self-reflect. Cumella (2022) asserts that gratitude journals are a valuable intervention to assist nurses in learning and improving stress management mechanisms, increasing their overall happiness, and providing a channel to convey their feelings. Nurses can implement various journaling methods, including guided questions or electronic journal formats(Cumella, 2022, p.60). Professional organizations can support nurses in implementing gratitude journals by availing tools, programs, and resources to help them and their healthcare facilities in developing self-care programs.
