Abstract
[This is an excerpt.] A mental health pandemic exists in nurses, the entire health workforce, health sciences faculty, and students as the nation and world recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Depression, suicide rates, and burnout have skyrocketed in these populations, resulting in presenteeism, absenteeism, and high job turnover as well as substantial collegiate drop-out rates that are costing both healthcare and educational institutions huge economic losses. Findings from research also have shown strong positive associations among clinician burnout, mental health issues, and preventable medical errors (Melnyk et al., 2021).
