The American Nurses Foundation (ANF) listens carefully to nurses, making critical investments to address their current challenges. ANF, as the philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Enterprise, advances the nursing profession by serving as a thought leader, catalyst for action, convener, and funding conduit.
Across the nation, health systems are contending with a sobering truth: supporting nurses, who make up the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, is not only a matter of compassion, but of the survival of nurses and sustainability of the healthcare sector. Burnout, stress, and workforce shortages threaten patient safety, care quality, and organizational stability.
This 2024 report explores and gives insights into the lived experiences and challenges nurses face in maintaining their own mental health and well-being while caring for patients in their busy and demanding work settings. The report shares opportunities and strategies that health systems and organizations can leverage to foster cultures of care, resilience, and long-term retention.
