    Evaluation of nurse leader self-care pilot program : A quality improvement project
    (2026) Showalter, Kadie
    Background The impending nursing shortage will create significant vacancies and loss of experience in nursing leadership, with turnover costs ranging from $132,000 to $228,000 per leader. While turnover intentions are multifactorial, burnout has been identified as a primary contributor. This quality improvement (QI) project evaluated the impact of structured self-care activities on self-perceived burnout among nurse leaders. Methods • Pre-posttest design using Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). • Participants attended group-based self-care sessions. • Session-specific and overall satisfaction were measured using Likert-scale surveys. • Pre-posttest CBI scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, with degree of change assessed using the Vargha-Delaney A. Results • Fourteen participants enrolled; 10 completed the intervention and post-test measures. • High satisfaction across sessions (median scores 4.00-5.00), with high overall satisfaction (median = 5.00). • Post-intervention CBI scores demonstrated reduced self-perceived burnout, with the greatest improvement in personal burnout, including a statistically significant reduction in physical exhaustion (p = .025, A = 0.75) and moderate-to-large reduction across additional indicators. • Statistical significance and generalizability were limited due to small sample size. Conclusions • Structured self-care interventions may reduce leader burnout, particularly personal burnout; however, organizational-level strategies are needed to address work-related and client-related burnout. • Expanding structured self-care programming may improve nurse leader well-being and retention. IRB Approval IRB approval through exempt review. Co-Authors Dr. Jan Sherman, Dr. Jennifer O’Connor, Dr. Kristin Carlson Learning Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of self-care interventions in reducing burnout and turnover intention among nurse leaders.

    Supplementary data: BERTopic topic cluster results from an analysis of otome game player reviews on Steam, 2026
    (2026) Nicolosi, Georgette; 0009-0005-4579-5104
    This data set contains the results of a BERTopic topic modeling analysis of 17,183 English-language Steam reviews across eight otome games. The data presents the top 50 topic clusters, each with its cluster name, identified feature label assigned by the research team, frequency count, and defining terms generated by the model. This data accompanies a study examining what game features otome game players discuss when evaluating titles in Steam reviews.
