What Nurse Wellness Really Requires: A WenWell Framework for Capacity, Safety, and Connection
Webinar Details
Nurse wellness is often treated as an individual responsibility, with a focus on self-care and resilience, while the shared conditions that shape stress, burnout, and sustainability are overlooked. This webinar introduces the WenWell Framework for Capacity, Safety, and Connection, a systems-informed approach that reframes nurse wellness as a shared responsibility across individuals, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and leadership. This session provides a clear framework for understanding how capacity limits, psychological safety, and connection affect nurse well-being. Participants will gain a shared language to support leadership, education, research, and workforce efforts focused on creating environments where nurses can practice sustainably.
Webinar Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain how capacity, psychological safety, and connection function as system-level determinants of nurse wellness beyond individual self-care strategies.
- Apply the WenWell Framework as a conceptual lens to examine nurse wellness as a shared responsibility across individuals, educational institutions, healthcare organizations, and leadership structures.
- Identify implications of a shared-responsibility approach to nurse wellness for nursing education, leadership, and workforce sustainability.
