Description
In healthcare, where stress and pressures can undermine coping mechanisms, practitioners must be resilient. Resiliency is the ability to adapt to difficult experiences or circumstances through personal flexibility and by tapping internal or external resources. As you will see in this micro-course, Resiliency in Healthcare, resilience can be learned and, as a healthcare leader, you can foster resilience in your team.
You will learn about measuring resilience in individuals, using tools such as the Brief Resilience Scale. You will examine the internal and external factors that foster resilience and explore strategies for building resilience in healthcare workers and leaders. This knowledge is applied more broadly as you learn leadership practices that cultivate resilience in healthcare teams and in your entire organization. Finally, you’ll see how specific approaches—such as democratic, transformational, or resonant leadership styles—help leaders support their teams during times of crisis.
