TL;DR
Improved in job resources as well as reduction in professional inefficacy and psychological distress were found among nurses who received effective CS, but were not present among the nurses who found their CS less effective or who did not attend CS.
Abstract
Stress is a developmental challenge in the professional growth of individual nurses. One option for management to sustain nurses' well-being at work is to develop a learning organization in the workplace making use of CS.
