Statement of Work: RELATIONSHIP- BASED HOLISTIC SELF CARE TRAINING FOR NURSES Title of Project VA New Jersey Health Care System (VA NJHCS) is requesting education and support for the Nursing Staff in self-care practices based on the facility focus on human interactions, adoption of relationship-based care and ability to advance self-care from within the healthcare system. Period of performance is from September 1st, 2015 thru August 31st, 2016. Description of Need/Background As a VA Center of Innovation for Patient-Centered Care and Cultural Transformation, VANJHCS looks to demonstrate excellence in the delivery of patient care. VANJHCS recognizes the importance of the healthcare provider's healing relationship with the self as an intricate part of the healing process and an important component of providing excellence in patient care. This Relationship-Based Holistic Self Care educational program reinforces the provider's relationship to "the self" and care of the self as an essential component of nursing practice. Relationship to self involves a "sense of knowing" and a commitment to taking care of one's self in a holistic way -physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Self-knowing implies an inner awareness of the healer's or healthcare provider's personal needs, goals, values, beliefs, choices and confidence. A lack of self-knowing may adversely affect personal growth and interpersonal relationships including the expression of compassion or empathy for others. Without a clear understanding of "self", the healthcare provider may not realize her/his full potential as a healing agent or her/his effect on other team members. This lack of understanding could negatively affect a healthy or healing relationship with other team members and affect team work. The therapeutic relationship between nurse and patient can also be affected. In the Holistic Nurse framework, wholeness and healing exists when the healer or healthcare provider is able to establish meaningful relationships with patients, colleagues and self. Acceptance of self however, is not only dependent on recognition of needs but also on the doing of the work to meet those needs. "Self-care work "includes holistic mind-body-spirit practices and/or techniques that address physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wounds. Nurses need to learn how to care for the self. Restoring caring and compassion for self will restore caring and compassion to the nurse's nursing practice. Nurses need to be supported in that journey as they walk down the self-care path of wellness and self-healing. Learning holistic and resilient mind-body-spirit practices will help nurses to restore and renew the self, avoid burn out, promote compassion for self and others and model a personal wellness path for their patients and colleagues. The healing relationship to self will be strengthened by the holistic and self-care practices of a Relationship Based Holistic Self Care Program and will be reflected in a number of metrics. Nurses will approach nursing practice with renewed mindful awareness, presence and intentionality. Description of Work The contractor shall provide: 1. A sufficient number of credentialed educators/practitioners to conduct all educational sessions. 2.The learning curriculum provides instruction in the following areas: holistic nursing philosophy; the theory of healing relationships including relationship based care; the concept of self-care in healing and nursing; self-care exercises that can be incorporated into daily nursing practice. 3.All VA participants in the educational program receive the appropriate educational tools for learning, both printed and electronic. 4.All learning material, print and screen, are of the highest quality and meet ADA standards. 5.Presenters provide the mind-body-spirit tools/equipment necessary to ensure hands on practice by participants. 6.VA participants are given adequate time for mastery and confidence in the utilization of mind-body-spirit techniques/ practices during the educational session. 7.Support services to assist participants in successfully implementing techniques learned and resolving any barrier to practice. 8.Nursing Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) be awarded to all nurse participants. 9.Permission to videotape training sessions for advertisement of program during future nursing events.
