What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the well-being of healthcare employees, particularly in cardiology teams, by implementing a Relational Playbook and coaching intervention. The Playbook includes evidence-based strategies designed to foster supportive team cultures and improve communication among staff. By providing nurse managers with tools and resources, the project aims to create a healthier work environment that ultimately benefits the care provided to veterans. The approach emphasizes the importance of leadership coaching to facilitate the adoption of these strategies.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include healthcare employees working in cardiology departments within the Veterans Health Administration.
Not a fit: Patients who are not involved in the cardiology care process or who do not receive care from the Veterans Health Administration may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved employee satisfaction and better care for veterans receiving cardiology services.
How similar studies have performed: Similar approaches in enhancing employee well-being in healthcare settings have shown promise, indicating that this intervention could be effective.
