Things are tough in #EmergencyDepartments, right now. We surveyed 1372 NZ ED staff, measuring their burnout & identifying what can be done to improve their #workplacewellbeing Our 1st paper has been published #OpenAccess sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (Thread 1/8)
ED staff are VERY resilient. We face daily exposure to the illness, injury, intoxication, violence & distress of others. These findings resonate with other #wellbeing research suggesting social & organisational factors – as well as personal strategies - are key (2/8)
To provide a coherent, actionable analysis of a #qualitative data set > 100,000 words, we reported key themes under summary domains:
1. Facilitators: What matters most?
2. Barriers: What gets in the way?
3. Opportunities: What can be done? (3/8)

What we did: looked at ambulance callouts for #GHB alone vs for co-use w other drugs (eg. #methamphetamine, #alcohol)
What we found: Overall #GHB presentations increased 147%, peaking in 2017 at 1339 callouts. This increase was largely driven by #GHB+#methamphetamine use together

#methamphetamine #ice co-use was >6x more likely to result in ambulance callouts than co-use with other drugs e.g. alcohol; and more #mentalhealth symptoms e.g. psychosis or anxiety.
