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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Integrated Empowerment and Narrative Nursing Program (I-ENP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer hospitals a practical way to reduce nurse burnout and improve job satisfaction.
What could go wrong
This is a single, completed study with 172 nurses. Results may not apply to other settings or countries, and the program requires significant time and resources to implement.
