Peer-Reviewed Literature
Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation goes beyond helping individual nurses. We pride ourselves on also contributing to the literature on nurse well-being. We remain focused on staying up-to-date on best practices in nurse health promotion and use evidence-based strategies as we continue to develop the program.
We invite you to explore our peer-reviewed literature to better understand our data and browse a collection of papers that inform our understanding of nurse health and well-being.
