Nurse burnout is a huge problem throughout our global healthcare systems. To understand the causes of this crisis, HKS, CADRE and MillerKnoll created a research coalition to get a better look at what nurses are dealing with — the good, the bad, and the complicated. ? Our teams analyzed over 15,000 Reddit comments from the nursing community to uncover real-time insights into the burnout crisis. This authentic view of nurses' daily struggles revealed how the design of healthcare spaces can better support them. Members of the coalition asked themselves: ?? What components of the physical environment contribute to nurse burnout? ?? How can the design of the physical environment help mitigate nurse burnout? ? Look at what was discovered and learn how we intend to alleviate this global challenge through design. ? https://lnkd.in/gb-EDQQt ? The 2024 Healthcare Design Conference + Expo kicks off next week. Leaders from the Nurse Burnout Coalition will present on Sunday, October 6 to discuss the research — "Blueprint for Mitigating Nurse Burnout: A Social Listening Perspective."
