Published in Applied Nursing Research, the following article gives details for a psycho-educational program that assists nurses to develop stress management plans that rely on the use of adaptive coping strategies. The intervention teaches positive self-care behaviors to nurses. Primary interventions include relaxation and guided imagery training, art exploration of proactive coping strategies, and creation of a personalized wellness plan.
