  Dear Members of IAHC,

  Dr’s Holly Wei and John Nelson are writing to invite you to our third gathering for the Special Interest Group (SIG) that focuses on the work environment. If you are new to this group, this is a member only event that will be moderated by Dr. Holly Wei and Dr. John Nelson. Both Dr’s Wei and Nelson are experts in the area of the work environment and they invite other experts and interested IAHC members to talk about what is being done in the work environment today to help nurses and the healthcare team in this challenging time. We also invite researchers in this area to come and share what research they are embarking. If you are involved in a successful strategy to improve the work environment to help caring thrive, come and share that too.

  The plan for this event is to be held 1-2 times per year, before and after the annual conference of IAHC. We envision this SIG might work together throughout the year offline as collaborations emerge from within the group. This group may want to present their collaborative work at the annual conference, write papers, or even write grants together.

  Objective of SIGs are twofold:

  • 1.       Network IAHC members of similar interests
  • 2.       Evaluate opportunities for possible collaborative research or intervention cell groups from within the specialty group

  This will be an hour event that will take place on March 29^th at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. We have approximately 75 IAHC members who have engaged with this group in the first year. If you have not registered yet, but would like to, follow this link: 

  IAHC - Work Environment - Special Interest Group
  

  See you on the 29^th of March!,

  John Nelson & Holly Wei

  New Nurses’ Experience with Lateral Violence and Their Decision to Remain in Nursing

  Join us for a discussion of the lived experiences of new nurses and their decision to remain in nursing despite experiencing lateral violence in the workplace.

  Through one-on-one interviews, six themes emerge, including:

  1. The patients
  2. I needed the experience
  3. I got counseling
  4. There was an end
  5. I cried
  6. Nothing changed.

  Lateral violence or bullying in nursing is the antithesis of caring and a profound, pervasive global concern. Survivors of lateral violence exhibit significant negative emotional and physical effects. Approximately one-third of new nurses leave the profession within the first 3 years of practice, citing lateral violence as a determining factor. This study explored the reasons new nurses decided to remain in the profession despite their experiences.

  Join the International Association for Human Caring to discuss the journal publication:

  Culture of Care in a School of Nursing: Faculty Embark on a Quality Improvement Plan

  Join us for a discussion of developing a continuous quality improvement plan to cultivate a culture of care within a school of nursing. The authors implemented the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model and conducted a faculty self-assessment of caring behaviors and caring relationships which informed the design of a caring science workshop using Watson’s Caritas Processes to introduce caring micro-practices. Qualitative interviews with faculty after the workshop generated two themes: self-awareness of self-care and caring pedagogy.
