项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nursing is a notoriously high-stress occupation - emotionally taxing and physically draining, with a high incidence of burnout. In addition to the damaging effects of stress on nurses' health and well being, stress is also a major contributor to attrition and widespread shortages in the nursing profession. Although there exist promising in-person interventions for addressing problems of stress among nurses, the experience of our group across multiple projects in hospitals has indicated that the schedules and workloads of nurses can pose problems for implementing in-person interventions, and that web-based interventions might be ideally suited to addressing the high levels of stress among nurses. In recent years, Internet-based stress management programs have been developed and tested in the workplace, and the evidence from several studies, including a recent study conducted by our organization in a hospital setting, has indicated that a web-based stress management programs can be an efficacious intervention for reducing stress among nurses. The overall goal of this Fast-Track project is to develop and test a web-based stress management program for nurses, supported by a specialized web application and accompanied by a web-based nurse manager's guide directed mainly at improvements in the work environment. In Phase I, prototypes of a nurses stress management program and a nurse managers' guide will be developed and a feasibility test will conducted on the nurses stress management prototype. In Phase II, the web-based stress management program for nurses and the nurse managers' guide will be fully developed, and the nurses stress management program will be tested in a randomized controlled trial with 300 nurses at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Mt. Sinai has enthusiastically agreed to serve as the site for both phases of the project. The final program will be marketed to hospitals through concentrated efforts by ISA's Center for Workforce Health.

描述（由申请人提供）：护理是一种臭名昭著的高压力职业 - 在情感上征税并在身体上疲倦，倦怠发生率很高。除了压力对护士健康和福祉的破坏性影响外，压力也是护理专业流失和广泛短缺的主要原因。尽管存在有希望的面对面干预措施来解决护士之间的压力问题，但我们小组在医院中的多个项目的经验表明，护士的时间表和工作量可能会为实施基于网络的干预措施带来问题干预措施可能非常适合解决护士之间的高水平压力。近年来，基于互联网的压力管理计划已经在工作场所开发和测试，包括我们组织在医院环境中进行的几项研究的证据表明，基于网络的压力管理计划可以成为减轻护士压力的有效干预措施。这个快速轨道项目的总体目标是为护士开发和测试一个基于网络的压力管理计划，并在专门的Web应用程序的支持下，并由基于Web的护士经理指南伴随着，主要致力于改善工作环境的改善。在第一阶段，将制定护士压力管理计划和护士经理指南的原型，并对护士压力管理原型进行可行性测试。在第二阶段，将对护士和护士经理指南的基于Web的压力管理计划得到充分开发，护士压力管理计划将在西奈山医院的300名护士的随机对照试验中进行测试。西奈山热情同意作为该项目两个阶段的地点。最终计划将通过ISA劳动力健康中心的集中努力向医院推销。
