Factors associated with resilience, spiritual and mental well‐being of advanced practice nurses: Implications for role integration

Effective APN integration into the healthcare system, crucial for their mental well-being, requires addressing macro-, meso- and micro-level issues. At the macro level, clear scopes of practice and legislative support can provide stability and purpose, fostering peace of mind. Meso-level strategies, such as collaborative practice models, can cultivate a sense of connection and shared meaning within teams. Micro-level strategies, including professional development, mentorship and supportive work environment, can nurture reflective practice and personal growth, further enhancing APNs' spiritual well-being through a sense of peace and meaning. These strategies collectively strengthen APNs' professional identity, job satisfaction and mental well-being, leading to better patient outcomes and a more resilient healthcare workforce.
