Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Nurses face many ethical challenges, placing them at risk for moral distress and burnout and challenging their ability to provide safe, high-quality patient care. Little is known about the sustainability of interventions to address this problem. To determine the long-term impact on acute care nurses of a 6-session experiential educational program called the Mindful Ethical Practice and Resilience Academy (MEPRA) was conducted. Many MEPRA results were sustained at 3 and 6 months after the conclusion of the initial foundational program. Some outcomes such as burnout and turnover intentions may benefit from boosters of the intervention or efforts to supplement the training by making organizational changes to the work environment.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes. No partial credit will be awarded.
