TRANSCRIPT

>Hello, class. This tutorial is designed to provide you with helpful hints for the week 6 check-in for the professional paper, due Wednesday of week 6, and the week 6 professional paper due Sunday, the end of week 6. In the week 6 check-in for the professional paper, you will answer questions to document your progress on the week 6 professional paper. You will also ask questions about the week 6 professional paper assignment and about APA format. Carefully read the directions. Click on the “Take the quiz” button at the bottom of the page to read the questions and load your answers. Click “Submit quiz” below the questions, when you are done. The week 6 check-in is due Wednesday of week 6, but you may submit it earlier that week. Your instructor will provide you with scores and comments by Friday of week 6 or earlier to promote your success on the week 6 professional paper due Sunday. The week 6 professional paper is due Sunday at the end of week 6. Follow the directions carefully to complete this assignment. Just as in the week 4, professional paper worksheet assignment number 5 in the week 6 directions, sends you to an announcement in NR 351, where you will find the assigned article link and information. The same article is used for both the week 4 and the week 6 assignments. You should already have this article saved on your computer from your week 4 assignment. Use the required template that is linked on this assignment page. Delete the yellow directions after reading them and type your paper sections directly on that template after saving it to your computer. Notice that the week 6 assignment is a paper. The week 6 professional paper assignment is submitted through Turnitin, so the submission area looks slightly different. You will select the correct file to upload, click the box to agree to the end user license agreement, and click “Submit Assignment.” Be sure to double-check that you have submitted the correct document. Please, contact your instructor with questions. Thank you.

A Sample Of This Assignment Written By One Of Our Top-rated Writers

Professional Paper

This paper aims to summarize the assigned article that discusses how gratitude journals can enhance nurses’ mental well-being. The article’s content will impact my future professional practice as it enlightens nurses on self-care interventions they can adopt to improve their stress management and emotional health when facing stressors like burnout. The contents will enable me to identify measures to improve mental well-being, which impacts output.

Assigned Article Summary

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 measures are vital to help support nurses’ mental health and alleviate the high levels of burnout. 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 are 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 develop self-care programs.     

Impact of Assigned Article Content on Future Practice

The content from Cumella (2022) will significantly impact my professional nursing practice as I have gained knowledge on the self-care interventions that my colleague and I can use s to improve our mental well-being. Burnout is one of the adversities I will likely encounter due to the nursing shortage. This may significantly affect our mental health due to fatigue and increased stress levels. Thus, I will encourage myself and my colleagues to use gratitude journals, providing an opportunity for self-reflection. Furthermore, I will apply the article’s content in guiding my colleagues on how to write the journals since it can be challenging at the beginning. For example, I will encourage my colleagues to reflect on simple daily pleasures, the people in their lives, strengths and talents, and experiences of kindness and write them in their gratitude journals.

Conclusion

Gratitude journals effectively allow nurses to reflect on their experiences and express their feelings. They help increase coping mechanisms and happiness and improve emotional and mental well-being. With the increasing nursing shortage contributing to burnout, journaling can be a great self-care measure to help nurses encounter this challenge and manage associated stress. The article can be applied in future practice to help nurses care for their mental health and well-being. Nurses can use guided questions or electronic journal formats to journal their experiences.
