More frequent expressions of gratitude at work could lead to better sleep, fewer sick days and higher quality work
Being thanked more frequently at work can ultimately benefit physical health, according to a recent study involving acute-care nurses in Oregon. Receiving expressions of gratitude improved these nurses’ satisfaction with their work, and in turn predicted sounder sleep, more attempts to eat healthy and even fewer headaches.
Research suggests that gratitude and introducing a process where people are thanked for their hard work can help health-care workers reduce burnout, Starkey and her co-authors noted. The present research may also extend beyond health-care to other fields like the military or civil service, she added.
About 8% of registered nurses say that gratitude and relationships with patients are the most rewarding aspect of their jobs, according to Medscape’s latest Nurse Career Satisfaction Report, while helping people and making a difference in their lives topped the list at 40%.
