Leadership plays a pivotal role in fostering a supportive environment. Nurse leaders can:
- Model Supportive Behavior: Demonstrate how to support peers through their actions. - Encourage a Culture of Support: Create and maintain policies that promote teamwork and mutual support. - Provide Resources: Ensure that nurses have access to resources such as counseling services, peer support groups, and professional development opportunities. - Recognize Efforts: Acknowledge and reward nurses who go above and beyond in supporting their peers.
