Impact of a Fundamental Care Leadership Intervention on Workforce and Patient Outcomes and Experiences

Principal Investigators: Lianne Jeffs, Jane Merkley, Sarabeth Silver, Sylvie Rey

Missed and ignored fundamental care was amplified during the COVID-19 pandemic eroding morale of nurses resulting in burnout, human health resource (HHR) shortages, and poor patient outcomes and experiences. We will address the erosion of fundamental, compassionate care and burnout in nursing and other healthcare professionals by implementing and evaluating the impact of an evidence informed, co-designed leadership intervention focused on embedding fundamental, compassionate care within healthcare organizations and ecosystems. This intervention will be available in English and French and is a key recovery strategy to strengthen the nursing and HHR workforce and improve fundamental care experiences and outcomes.
