Abstract
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic turned the world upside down and highlighted multiple sources of trauma inherent in the role of dean or director of an academic nursing unit.
METHOD: Experienced nursing deans (
RESULTS: Based on the Trauma-Informed Self-Care Measure-Revised, specific strategies for nursing deans and directors are recommended in three broad categories: (1) use of organizational resources; (2) observance of organizational protocols for employee support; and (3) dedication to stress management and work-life balance activities.
CONCLUSION: To be a positive role model for faculty, staff, and students, nursing deans and directors would benefit from taking a trauma-informed approach to caring for themselves and others.
