Topic Overview: Research has shown that stress among healthcare professionals is associated with many important problems (e.g. burnout, employee injury, jeopardized patient safety.) Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) recognizes that our employees may be subject to very stressful and exhausting work. Building Resilience is an institution-wide program supporting our medical center staff in their efforts to manage stress in healthy ways.
The presenter will describe the services offered to the more than 13,000 staff of MSKCC, including: tailored team workshops; educational seminars focusing on self-care; and “Building Resilience through the Arts” (i.e. a creative series providing a restorative lunch hour via music, visual arts, poetry, dance, etc.) How and why the programs were developed will be explained, as will the process followed to identify and tailor to particular needs of staff within different departments including, but not limited to, nurses, housekeeping and administrative support. Finally, participation and evaluation data will be reported, along with a discussion of costs and benefits of this work.
