Work flow analysis: eliminating non-value-added work.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of implemented work environment changes on nursing and support staff roles. BACKGROUND: In 1999, the authors identified key drivers of unnecessary work associated with the day-to-day delivery of patient care in their institution and implemented changes based on their results. METHODS: Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Work sampling and focus groups were used to evaluate work flow. Activity categories were identified and clearly defined by advanced practice nurses. All compiled data were subsequently synthesized and cross-checked with the information acquired through independent, multidisciplinary validation studies. RESULTS: There were significant changes (P <.0001) noted in overall distribution of observed activities for nurses and all support staff. CONCLUSIONS: The significant changes noted in overall distribution of observed activities reflect the important adjustments made in both job descriptions and the environment to eliminate key drivers of unnecessary work in the delivery of patient care.

Use of a validated model to evaluate the impact of the work environment on outcomes at a magnet hospital.
Using a structural model, we evaluated the impact of leadership, staff stability, resources, workload, work environment, and staff expertise on nurse-sensitive patient outcomes to determine elements that can be modified.

The effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction on nurse stress and burnout: a quantitative and qualitative study.
Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction, a stress-reduction program, has increasing empirical support as a patient-care intervention. Its emphasis on self-care, compassion, and healing makes it relevant as an intervention for helping nurses manage stress and reduce burnout. This article describes the implementation of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction in a hospital system as a way to lower burnout and improve well-being among nurses, using both quantitative and qualitative data.

The effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction on nurse stress and burnout, Part II: A quantitative and qualitative study.
This article is the second in a series reporting on research exploring the effects of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction on nurses and describes the quantitative data. The third article describes qualitative data. Treatment group participants reduced scores on 2 of 3 subscales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory significantly more than wait-list controls; within-group comparisons for both groups pretreatment and posttreatment revealed similar findings. Changes were maintained as long as 3-month posttreatment. Implications of these findings are discussed.

The effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction on nurse stress and burnout: a qualitative and quantitative study, part III.
Part III of the study on mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) describes qualitative data and discusses the implications of the findings. Study analysis revealed that nurses found MBSR helpful. Greater relaxation and self-care and improvement in work and family relationships were among reported benefits. Challenges included restlessness, physical pain, and dealing with difficult emotions.
