A Multicomponent Wellness Program to Promote Self-Leadership and Wellness

Le résumé fourni par la source

This paper discusses an innovative, multicomponent wellness program designed to strengthen self-leadership and well-being among health professionals and faculty. The Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy at Case Western Reserve University spearheaded a series of sequential wellness initiatives, including BeWell: Flourishing in Self-Leadership, a faculty-focused program that connected wellness behaviors with leadership development through brief, experiential sessions emphasizing reflection, intentional self-care, and leadership confidence. In addition, the Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy implemented weekly interprofessional yoga classes that incorporated a variety of self-leadership themes before, during, and after weekly yoga practice. Yoga participants filled out pre- and postsurveys to assess the effectiveness of each class. Weekly yoga classes, tailored toward self-leadership themes, successfully brought the benefits that students and faculty were seeking. Following this initiative, the program expanded during a subsequent academic term to include a brief, classroom-based mindfulness intervention delivered within undergraduate and graduate nursing courses. Students completed pre- and postquestionnaires surrounding a guided meditation and awareness exercise. Collectively, interprofessional and classroom-based mindfulness initiatives represent a feasible strategy to promote self-leadership and support individual health and wellness in academic settings.
