If someone you love has a serious medical event or injury, do you want them to be cared for by someone who has experience, expertise, pride & satisfaction in their role? Our #openaccess paper will be of interest to you. A thread [1/6] nzma.org.nz/journal-articl…

@acemonline

Published #openaccess today, we report high burnout & low wellbeing from a survey of 1,372 staff working across 22 New Zealand Emergency Departments [2/6] @acemonline @NursingCENNZ #FOAMed nzma.org.nz/journal-articl…

Burnout was highest amongst nurses. ED nurses have been sounding the alarm throughout 2021, reporting understaffing, overcrowding & a mass exodus from ED nursing roles [3/6] stuff.co.nz/national/healt…

Work stress was significantly positively correlated with burnout. Uncertainty & pressure are inherent in emergency care, but the latest COVID outbreak has placed additional burden on EDs already at breaking point [4/6]

What facilitates workplace wellness? Work-related happiness, work-life balance, job satisfaction & perceived workplace excellence were all negatively correlated with burnout, supporting our qualitative findings reported here: [5/6] sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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)
