Room to Reflect: Resilience Toolbox

  Nancy Farish, Jeanell Webb-Jones & Jane Muir with Resilience Toolbox

In mid-2021, UVA Health nurses Nancy FarishJane Muir, and Jeanell Webb-Jones deployed an on-unit resilience toolbox called “Room to Reflect” across seven hospital units and to 57 nurses and nurse managers for a series of two-month trials. The toolboxes—which contained a variety of audio visual and mindfulness guide resources (including a sound machine, poetry, guided visualizations, virtual reality headsets with video escapes, and a pocket guide to mindfulness activities while working)—were distributed across inpatient, outpatient, pre-operative, and post-operative settings.... Now, two years later, the first results of their “resilience toolbox” are in.
