A really important study. We have so little data on mental health and in particular suicidal thoughts and behaviours of nurses and midwives in Ireland. Please consider doing this survey if you can and share widely 🙏🏻
🚨 Calling All Nurses and Midwives: Share Your Experience of Working in Ireland
Are you a nurse or midwife currently working in the Republic of Ireland? If so, we want to hear from you.
Ciarán Carr, a PhD student at the School of Nursing & Midwifery, @tcddublin, is seeking to explore the lived experiences of nurses and midwives — both at work and beyond.
Ciarán is exploring important topics like:
· Workplace wellbeing & stress
· Mental Health
· Work-life balance
· Exercise & coping strategies
· Intimate partner violence
· Suicidal thoughts and behaviours
The survey is open to all nurses and midwives working in the Republic of Ireland. Our study contains a phase two, which will focus on Nurses and Midwives who have experienced suicidal behaviour. Depending on your responses, some participants will be invited to contribute to interview.
All responses are confidential, and your participation is voluntary. If you are invited to interview, you do not need to contribute if you do not want to.
Your voice matters. By participating, you’ll help build a deeper understanding of the pressures and supports that shape the lives of those in the nursing and midwifery professions.
Learn more and take the survey: tcdhealthsciences.qualtrics.…
Thank you for helping us make a difference.
