Brosschot’s Generalized Unsafety Theory of Stress (GUTS) offers new insights and a mechanism through which health care providers, including RNs, may intervene to improve health outcomes of patients from minority communities. During this presentation, foundational knowledge, including minority stress and GUTS theory, are reviewed. The concept of inclusivity and the creation of signals as means to increase perceptions of safety and reduce chronic stress created by uncertainty are shared. Discussion includes a gained awareness of how overt signs of inclusion in health care settings can cultivate feelings of safety and positively influence health outcomes.

A health care organization recognized that staff may wish to pursue a more clinical-focused career path but may lack the time, support, or resources to do so. This session describes a unique opportunity created for staff to pursue a new career path through coverage of tuition and fees with full salary maintained while enrolled in a medical assistant program. Discussion includes the strategy formation for this initiative, the process for identifying program participants, partnership with community stakeholders and collaboration to develop curriculum, program outcomes, key lessons learned, and future planning considerations.
