"Not Just a Theory": The Relationship Between Jin Shin Jyutsu(R) Self-Care Training for Nurses and Stress, Physical Health, Emotional Health, and Caring Efficacy

Conclusions: This small study suggests that Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care may be a valuable tool for nurses, to decrease stress, both emotional and physical, and increase caring efficacy. Administrators may wish to invest in such a program, which may improve quality of care delivered. The Watson caring model, which reminds us that nurses who care for themselves and feel good about their work can better care for others, proved an accurate framework for this study.
