Abstract
Background:
The mental health of students and faculty has become a growing issue in academia. Faculty need to provide role-modeling early in nursing programs to enhance psychological well-being for future nurses that will have lasting effects throughout their careers.
Method:
A total of 29 faculty members participated in a descriptive study investigating types of self-care goals and how they could be achieved by College of Nursing faculty during their annual performance appraisal.
Results:
Seventy-three percent of respondents reported they anticipated that achieving these self-care goals would enhance their faculty role. Further, the respondents associated achievement of self-care goals as a way to improve their faculty performance.
Conclusion:
Since every individual has a unique perspective of the world, a self-care approach that works for one person might not work for another. Self-care goals should therefore be tailored to the unique needs and perspectives of each person.
