In this presentation, Professor Shereen Hussein introduces a project focusing on developing a standardised scale to measure the quality of life at work among formal care workers, CWRQoL.
Wellbeing at work has been increasingly recognised as important to an individual’s physical and emotional well-being and for organisational and work outcomes, such as turnover and quality of work. In the health and social care sector, which involves emotional and physical labour, staff wellbeing is likely to have a significant impact on the quality of service provided, and outcomes related to patients and service users. This project aims to:
- Review and appraise the current quality of life at work scales that are relevant to social care work
- Identify key domains necessary to develop a WRQoL tool that is specific to the adult social care workforce in England (ASCOT-Staff)
- Identify potential ‘at work’ supporting mechanisms that are likely to improve care staff WRQoL
In this presentation, she also provides tips to writing a successful funding application. Watch the full presentation here:
