Description
Norah Alyahya and colleagues interviewed nurses in 2026 about how they build resilience while caring for older adults with many long-term conditions at once. Such care is among the hardest work in acute hospitals, yet little is known about how nurses adapt to it over time. The team held in-depth talks with fifteen registered nurses.
Three main themes came out of the talks. Nurses grew in skill by working through complex cases, found meaning that helped them cope with hard shifts, and drew strength from team networks. These gains came with real costs, such as moral distress and exhaustion. Knowing how this adaptation works, the authors argue, can help keep skilled nurses in the workforce.
