Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

We have developed an online learning resource designed to support healthcare staff during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This resource has been produced in anticipation of the psychological effect of working during this time. This is an open access, free, online resource available here: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play\_22794 It is designed to be relevant for healthcare staff, and we are evaluating it now with healthcare students as our next generation of healthcare staff. We are interested in knowing more about your views of healthcare students towards this package. This will help us to determine its value as a learning resource to support psychological wellbeing in healthcare students, alongside other welfare supports. The aim is to describe the views of healthcare students towards an e-learning package developed in response to COVID-19 on Psychological Wellbeing for Healthcare Workers.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators aim to:

* gather insight into the emotional highs and lows of being a healthcare student during the pandemic
* identify any facilitators, obstacles or barriers to accessing the e-package.
* identify perceptions of healthcare students towards the value of the e-package during and after the COVID19 pandemic.
* establish recommendations for longer-term support for psychological wellbeing in healthcare students.

Qualitative interviews will be conducted with up to 45 purposively sampled healthcare students who have accessed the e-learning resource. The interview will be semi-structured and include a measure 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.

Findings will inform future supportive interventions for healthcare students.
