Evaluation of a workplace intervention to implement supported wellbeing centres in a healthcare workplace during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mixed-Methods Evaluation study - including collection of service use monitoring data, online survey and qualitative interviews.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Project Aims:

1. To describe the cost, reach and usage of the Staff Wellbeing Centres
2. To gather insight into experiences of those who access the facility ('service users') as well as those of support workers ('wellbeing buddies').
3. To identify any facilitators, obstacles or barriers to accessing the facility.
4. To identify perceptions of facility users and non-users towards the value of the facilities during and after the coronavirus pandemic.
5. To establish recommendations for longer-term sustainability of the wellbeing centres.

Interviews will be conducted with up to 45 interview participants (10-15 Wellbeing Buddies, 25-30 Staff).

Online survey will be conducted - all Nottingham University Hospitals National Health Service (NHS) staff invited to take part (\>14,000).

The survey will include measures of mental wellbeing (Warwick-Edinburgh Wellbeing Scale, 14-item - license received), and single items measures of job stressfulness, job satisfaction, presenteeism, turnover intentions and work engagement.

Therefore the investigators will conduct interviews with people who have used the centres, or who have acted as support workers within them. The investigators will survey all staff in the Trust, and interview up to 45 participants.
