- Abstract
This manuscript examines using serenity rooms and similar tools to improve the workplace during COVID-19 for nurses and other practitioners. A rapid review of the literature was conducted and completed from four different databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, Science Direct, and Academic Search Complete. The literature review was completed with the use of a single-string Boolean search to maximize the number of articles returned. The resulting 14 germane articles yielded six facilitator themes and four barrier themes. Facilitator themes included: benefits, assistive adjuncts, places of relaxation, leadership required, availability, and other effects. Barrier themes included: lacking leadership, concerns regarding lack of space, holistic concerns, and negative perceptions. There is a significant lack of research in the literature in this area. Most of the literature reviewed showed widely positive results for institutions that utilized serenity rooms or similar tools for decreasing nurse and practitioner stress and burnout. The use of these tools improved nurse and practitioner compassion, retention, and resiliency.
