Mental Health among nurses VS. Covid-19
Instructions
In this assignment, you will propose a quality improvement initiative from your place of employment that could easily be implemented if approved. Assume you are presenting this program to the board for approval of funding. Write an executive summary (750-1,000 words) to present to the board, from which the board will make its decision to fund your program or project. Include the following:
The purpose of the quality improvement initiative.
The target population or audience.
The benefits of the quality improvement initiative.
The interprofessional collaboration that would be required to implement the quality improvement initiative.
The cost or budget justification.
The basis upon which the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated.This is a rough draft I have come up with if you can add to it:The topic that I would like to choose for this essay is Mental Health among nurses VS. Covid-19. This subject is very dear to me because I, myself have experienced mental decline when caring for Covid patients. This is also important to me because both of my in-laws were recently placed on ventilators due to Covid. My father in-law passed away on 8-3-21 and my mother in law is still fighting for her life. I know the mental toll this can have on healthcare workers as I have seen it first hand looking at the tears in the eyes of the nurses as they apologized profusely for not being able to save my Father in-law who I called Daddy. Some of the nurses told us that if they had one more young patient die due to Covid that they were done. I’ve never worked in an ICU but I can imagine the pain and heartache they face everyday while also putting on a brave face for the patients and their families. At the facility I work at, my administrator converted one of our rooms to a bigger, more comfortable breakroom so that the staff felt like they had a safe space. I think all healthcare facilities should implement something of this nature in order to help the staff relax and recharge when they feel the need to do so. There is obviously more to be said about this subject that I will be sure to include and highlight in my Topic 3 assignment.
