What if we prepared nursing students for the ‘raw-edges of nursing life’ from the very beginning? A question of innovation and primary prevention

Innovation and primary prevention

Description

In this presentation, we utilize ‘Design Thinking’ built on Marion Leary’s webinar Rethinking Innovation in Nursing Leadership (2023, May 10), as a template for re-imagining how to implement trauma-informed care as an essential element for nurses’ well-being in undergraduate nursing education curricula. DesignThinking, is a human-centred practice and an iterative process; at its foundation, it requires empathy (listening/observing through shared stories), engaged-imagining, and co-creating.  From a primary prevention perspective, how might we prepare student nurses for the complex realities of contemporary nursing practice? We will explore the question of how (or not) as nurse educators we prepare students to engage early with experiences of suffering, loss, and/or grief (raw edges of nursing life), that has the potential if left unattended to contribute to psychological trauma in their practice.
