Phoenix Australia is conducting a study to better understand the emotional impacts of working during the COVID-19 pandemic for healthcare workers, with a particular focus on moral distress and injury.
We are now looking for participants. If you are a current or former healthcare worker who worked at some point between the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and now (frontline or non-frontline), and you are over 18 years of age, you are eligible to participate.
Participation involves completing an anonymous online survey that will take 25-35 minutes. The survey will ask questions about exposure to work-related events which have impacted your moral values (for example: the impact on your identity, relationships, beliefs, and behaviour), and various aspects of your mental health (for example: symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and general wellbeing).
The study has been granted ethical approval by the University of Melbourne Human Research Ethics Committee (protocol number 2021-20355-13622-5).
