Developing a person-centred approach to staff wellbeing using digital storytelling Passed

Tuesday May 14, 2024 16:30 - 16:37 G2

Moderator: Filipa Ventura
Presenter: Caroline Dickson

Track: Digitalisation and eHealth

Person-centredness in health and social care settings is fundamental to all persons within that context, and the outcome of person-centred (PC) practices is the development of person-centred cultures. There is increasing evidence to support that person-centred cultures promote PC care, for care givers as well as those experiencing care. [1]. This presentation introduces a leadership strategy to develop person-centred cultures through the development of a digital co-created resource: CAKE: produced as an outcome of creative work undertaken with community nurses during the Covid 19 pandemic. CAKE stands for Caring for each other Attending to what’s important, Keeping connected and Engaging and Empowering [2]. CAKE comprises 8 slices that build a process of developing PC workplace cultures in teams: The process involves: creating a shared safe space, connecting through storytelling and reflection, and action planning and evaluation. This process is supported by facilitation. This presentation will give an overview of the resource and give insight into the animations and videos that demonstrate the process of developing PC practices through the slices of CAKE. This is achieved through interaction with the resource on delegates’ mobile phones in real time. We will use creative resources such as auditory prompts and story cards. We will highlight the impact of CAKE as evidenced by teams testing the resource in practice. Given the very real issues facing staff in this post-pandemic world of work: stress, burnout, poor recruitment and retention [3], we believe CAKE is a fundamental part of the recipe that supports healthful, person-centred workplace cultures. Join us for a taste of CAKE
