Changes in Cognitive Control Following a Novel Resilience-Focused Nursing Educational Program: An Exploratory Study

Innovative educational programs are desperately needed to control nurses' stress, relieve distress, and enhance nurse performance. The general target of this work is to find methods to improve quality of life. Specifically, this requires tools for better control of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions both in oneself and in the workplace. Cognitive control is an important asset for organizational leaders and nurse managers because it relates to nurses' ability to navigate uncertainty and navigate stressors, enables a greater ability to think critically through complex situations, and promotes motivation, which is a necessary quality for organizational change agents. In today's uncertain, high-stimulus, and trauma-laden work environments, this developmental asset can promote and empower a creative and meaningful way forward. Here, Dames et al investigate the effects of an innovative educational program on cognitive control.
