From the author: Effective leaders recognize the critical nature of active, broad-based nurse participation in patient care redesign efforts. The sense-of-coherence theory is applied to change management with the intent to foster comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness in dealing with change-related stress. Multiple strategies including communication, training/education, and outcome evaluation must be part of any organizational redesign project. Front-line staff should be encouraged to participate in focus groups to air concerns and to evaluate both the positive and negative impact of changes in patient care delivery.
