Co-designing an online resource supporting nurses’ resilience in care homes
| Project Title |
Co-designing an online resource supporting nurses’ resilience in care homes |
| Research Focus |
This nurse-led project aims to support care home nurses’ resilience to deliver quality person centred care during the Covid-19 pandemic. Nurses in care homes have had to contend with traumatic events such as increasing deaths of residents, limited clinical support and a reduced workforce placing them at greater risk of poor mental health and wellbeing. Little is known about how nurses have responded to such events or the level of resilience of nurses in care homes. Equally, there are no resources available to support nurses in care homes deal with the increasing pressures during the pandemic. |

The aim of this project is to explore how nurses in care homes developed resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and to codesign a digital resource to build future coping and adaptation strategies fostering increasing resilience. This study adopts a mixed methods exploratory sequential design in three phases: 1. An online survey to measure the resilience in nurses working in care homes; 2.The co-design of the digital resource; 3.A mixed methods evaluation of the resource. |
