- The UK loses millions of working days annually due to work-related health issues, costing billions; thus, Occupational Health (OH) services are essential for supporting affected workers.
- Traditional OH services rely on a limited number of qualified doctors and nurses, but the declining workforce in this area necessitates exploring multi-disciplinary approaches involving diverse healthcare professionals.
- This study aims to create an evidence and gap map (EGM) that assesses the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of multi-disciplinary OH interventions, searching for systematic reviews to better understand which approaches yield positive work-related outcomes.
Background: Nurses, midwives and paramedics are the largest collective group of clinical staff in the National Health Service and have some of the highest prevalence of psychological ill-health. Existing literature tends to be profession-specific and focused on individual interventions that place responsibility for good psychological health with nurses, midwives and paramedics themselves.
Aim: To improve understanding of how, why and in what contexts nurses, midwives and paramedics experience work-related psychological ill-health; and determine which high-quality interventions can be implemented to minimise psychological ill-health in these professions.
Background: Nurses, midwives and paramedics comprise over half of the clinical workforce in the UK National Health Service and have some of the highest prevalence of psychological ill health. This study explored why psychological ill health is a growing problem and how we might change this.
Methods: A realist synthesis involved iterative searches within MEDLINE, CINAHL and HMIC, and supplementary handsearching and expert solicitation.
