Enhancing Positive Disability Management Outcomes in the Fraser Health Authority: Learning from Nurses’ and Disability Managers’ Experiences

This action research inquiry explored how the Fraser Health Authority Disability Management Department might foster increasingly positive outcomes for nursing staff. The study involved nurses who had exited the Disability Management Program within the past year and disability management professionals. Through a survey, a written submission from one participant, and a small group discussion, the research examined experiences, barriers, and potential improvements in the disability management process. The study adhered to all Royal Roads University ethical requirements. Key findings highlighted the importance of personalized communication, mental health support, and system connectivity. Recommendations include tailoring interactions, enhancing mental health resources, and improving cross-system coordination to better support nurses through the disability management process.
