Managing Moral Injury: Simple Steps, Proven Difference
Show Notes

Going “against the grain” of our patient care training during COVID-19 created moral injury in nurses. But a body of evidence proves that using very simple strategies will help you manage how your body reacts to stressors – and they are techniques available to everyone. AORN President Vangie Dennis MSN, RN, CNOR, CMLSO has a conversation with periop nurse and mind-body medicine practitioner Dr. Margaret Below PhD, RN, NE-BC about the small, deliberate, and fundamental steps you can do every day in the perioperative suite – and at home – that relax and calm your body, and the reasons why these techniques work.
