The WellGuided Nurse Research Initiative

The WellGuided Nurse Research Initiative

Hi, I’m Kristen

I have been a nurse for about a decade and have an MSN in Nursing Education. Feel free to read more about my bio here. As part of my graduate research, I would like to offer the WellGuided app, live virtual wellness classes, and a digital copy of the Waterwell Integrative Wellness Guide + Planning Journal completely free of charge to my fellow nurses.

The research I am conducting focuses on the support and well-being through the everyday work-related trauma exposure nurses experience in all walks of life at every stage of their career, from student nurses to those nearing retirement. If that’s you and you would like to participate in this research, please complete the form below. Nursing students, CNA, LPN, RN, BSN, MSN, DNP, and Nursing Leadership are encouraged to apply. All identifying information is kept strictly confidential.

The information I need for my research is simple, unobtrusive, and streamline- I promise I won’t spam you (who has the time?) or try to sell you anything. Thank you in advance for your participation and for serving our future nurses. Each participant will receive information about the overall results at the conclusion of this study.

Work-related Trauma Exposure

Trauma is defined as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Although many of us have experienced traumatic events throughout our lives, some professionals experience trauma every day. According to the Office for Victims of Crime, studies indicate that 40-80% of helping professionals, like nurses, experience work-related trauma exposure.

The Waterwell Center for Well-being works to support these professionals and in healing from work-related trauma exposure and overwhelm with simple, effective, evidence-based, and restorative tools for navigating life’s challenges through stress reduction, resilience-building, and healthy life skills that explore the ocean of calm waters within.

This is not a structured program to achieve well-being, as your path is unique to you. What we offer are the skills you will need to navigate the journey.
