Brief summary

Health professionals around the world face unprecedented uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a resilient mindset is needed to both ameliorate stress and facilitate growth experiences during this difficult time. Resilience involves responding to a potentially highly disruptive event adaptively such that psychological and physical functioning is relatively preserved, and there is capacity for positive growth. The purpose of this study is to interview frontline health professionals to explore lived experiences of resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we will focus on exploring modifiable sources of resilience, including psychological and lifestyle factors that Australian healthcare workers are drawing on to navigate the challenges of working through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interventions

One-off semi-structured interviews of approximately 30 minute duration will be conducted to explore hospital healthcare workers experiences of resilience, and sources of resilience, that have helped them cope during the COVID-19 pandemic. Measures of resilience and stress will also be collected using validated questionnaire scales.
