Description
Long-term care homes struggled badly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and short team huddles led by a skilled clinician may help staff cope. This mixed-methods study tests huddles led by a nurse practitioner on two units of an Ontario care home over four months. Forty-eight huddles run in total, mostly about resident care and staff well-being. Staff who join at least one huddle form the intervention group, and their moral distress and felt support are compared with staff who never attend.
Attending staff report lower moral distress and stronger support from the nurse practitioner. Resident records also shift: one intervention unit shows reduced medical complexity over time. The authors conclude that practitioner-led huddles can lift both staff and resident outcomes. They argue that placing nurse practitioners inside care homes helps spread evidence-based practice where it is most needed.
