Summary
This completed trial tested a 6-month program for neonatal nurses that combined empowerment training (like stress management and communication skills) with narrative nursing (sharing stories and reflective writing). The goal was to see if it could strengthen professional identity and reduce burnout. 172 nurses from multiple hospitals took part, with half receiving the program and half getting usual support.
