Abstract
Research has identified that healthy work environments in hospital settings improve job satisfaction, professional practice, staff retention and quality of patient care (Pereira et al., 2024). The purpose of this research is to compare a nursing unit’s work environment before and after implementation of American Association of Critical Care Nurses’ (AACN’), Healthy Work Environments (HWE) essential standards: Skilled Communication, True Collaboration, Effective Decision Making, Appropriate Staffing, Meaningful Recognition, Authentic Leadership (AACN Standards, n.d). A validated assessment survey for HWE will be administered in April 2025 (pre-survey). This survey will be analyzed and HWE Interventions will be implemented based on the results from pre-survey. Interventions will be implemented from April 2025-September 2025 and a post assessment survey will be conducted in October 2025. Anticipated results should show an improvement in nurses' overall perception of their workplace
