Today in Nursing Leadership
Researching the Healing Power of Storytelling in Nursing Practice
In This Episode
In response to COVID, our 12-hospital healthcare system initiated storytelling events for healthcare workers to assist in healing from trauma. These events foster connections through the shared lived experiences of teams and inspire hope for the future. Within a year, our health system organized 6 in-person events, 4 online watch parties, and featured more than 30 healthcare storytellers across Washington state. We then analyzed the transformative power of storytelling in our healthcare teams.
