This week, we dive into debriefing in healthcare. Sibyl and Micheline explore its purpose, how to get nurses on board, variations across different units, the impact of high-acuity environments, and the different emotional and professional goals of debriefing. It's so important to address moral distress and create a safe space for nurses to openly communicate about mental health!Chapters00:00 Encouraging Comfort and Participation in Debriefing Sessions26:17 Lack of Access to Mental Health Care36:37 Proactive Debriefing and Emotional Support for Healthcare Workers
