Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The project will be attached to the newly-funded SECURE study that will be conducted through the NIHR School for Social Care Research (Manchester) and their partner organisations. The project will follow a longitudinal, mixed methods design to mirror the SECURE study and will focus on exploring and examining care home staff well-being at the time of COVID-19. The project will be conducted in Greater Manchester. Potential areas of interest include:
• Working collaboratively with a select number of care homes in Greater Manchester to create innovative ways to map and record care staff well-being and practice.
• Identifying the factors that lead to staff-being at the time of COVID-19.
• Using diaries and other self-empowering approaches to document care home staff experiences and well-being stories.
• Co-constructing self-help practice guidance for care home staff.
The findings of this project will be used to inform and influence the care home sector and social care agencies.
