“…Similarly, in a concept analysis of well-being, authors (Patrician et al, 2022) defined individual attributes of well-being to include happiness, satisfaction, optimism, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and sound integration of body/ mind/spirit. These same authors indicated that well-being extends beyond the individual to the organization with attributes described as teamwork, a sense of mission, social integration, and workplace pride.…”

Nursing is currently at an important crossroads in our profession's history. With the recent events of the pandemic, the critical nature of workforce burnout, and the diminishing number of nurses available for patients' acuity and capacity, we as nurses find ourselves with a great opportunity to rethink and reimagine nursing and the environments in which we work.The construct of work environment in healthcare is multifocal and includes several characteristics or attributes. Work environment includes leader-employee relationships, employee recognition, workloads, employee engagement, and organizational culture. When these attributes are positive, the work environment is perceived to be healthy resulting in reduced levels of burnout, organizational commitment, retention, professional commitment, and even optimal outcomes for patients (Brunetto et al., 2013). One critical attribute is often missed when speaking about work environments in healthcare-the physical environment. The design of the physical work environment can either enhance workflow, operational efficiency, and nurses' and other providers' well-being or create obstacles for getting the work done and impede the health and wellbeing of care professionals, patients, and families. The workplace shapes well-being every day.One critical attribute is often missed when speaking about work environments in healthcare-the physical environment.Healthcare leaders are challenged to create work environments that promote well-being and

“…[13] It is believed that individuals' most basic needs must be met before they become motivated to achieve higher-level needs. This theory has been widely used in nursing sciences to study and promote motivational behaviours, such as to create indicators of a healthy working environment, [14] promote nurse well-being, [15] and guide the design of nursing interventions for patient care. [16] It has also been used by employers to increase productivity and performance among employees.…”
Background: Since China encounters challenges of the aging population, especially a decrease in the working-age population, the Chinese government officially ended the one-child policy and has implemented the second/third child policies. This study aimed to explore nurses’ experiences, the supports they received from hospitals, and the supports they expected when returning to work after the second/third childbirth.Methods: Asynchronous focus groups and one-on-one in-person interviews were held with nurses from three hospitals in Wenzhou city who had returned to work within three months following their second/third childbirth. Data collection and analysis were conducted using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as a guiding framework.Results: Twenty-three nurses were included in this study. Themes emerged around five needs, including physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Regarding these needs, nurses expressed receiving some support, including support from managers and colleagues and flexible scheduling assignments. However, there was also a lack of other supports, including dedicated time and space for breastfeeding, parental leave, nearby and affordable childcare, unit assignment and working schedules considering individual circumstances, mental health support, and opportunities for professional development.Conclusions: Our findings highlight the necessity to dedicate resources to support the diverse needs of returning nurse mothers such that they can balance family life and work. While longer-duration studies with larger sample sizes in other regions of China are needed, our findings also suggest future studies on exploring third childbirth experiences, evaluating supportive interventions, and creating a specific theoretical model on the comprehensive needs of nurses returning to work after childbirth.
“…A recent concept analysis defined nurse wellbeing as “being the best “you” that you can be, and bringing the best “you” to your work, to your team, unit, and/or organization. 3 ” On face value, this definition implies a personal perspective or ownership. It is “your” responsibility to attain wellbeing.…”
