Mental health of nurses involved with COVID-19 patients in Japan, intention to resign, and influencing factors.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between mental health (posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, and burnout) and intention to resign, and influencing factors regarding nurses involved with COVID-19 patients in A Prefecture as subjects.The design is a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study.Methods are conducted between August 4 and October 26, 2020. Basic attributes (gender, age, years of experience, etc.) were examined. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Impact of Event Scale-Revised, Maslach Burnout Inventory, "intent to resign," were used to collect data from nurses working at hospitals treating patients with COVID-19 in Japan.As a result, between 20% and 30% of nurses involved with patients with COVID-19 are in a state of high mental distress. Regarding the associations between psychiatric symptoms and intention to resign, "I want to quit being a nurse" was affected by "cynicism" and "professional efficacy"; "I want to change hospitals/wards" was affected by "cynicism"; and "subthreshold depression," "anxiety disorder," and "burnout" affected "I want to continue working as a nurse." The increase in the number of patients with COVID-19 was a factor affecting mental health and intention to resign. When the number of patients increased, anxiety disorders and intention to resign also increased. Damage from harmful rumors increased the severity of every psychiatric symptom. To prepare for a pandemic such as COVID-19, it is necessary in normal times to construct psychological support systems and community systems to prevent damage from harmful rumors.

Understanding nurses perspectives of acuity in the process of emergency mental health triage: a qualitative study.

Background: Post deinstitutionalisation, mental health mainstreaming has led to substantial increases in presentations to Emergency Departments (EDs). The assessment process requires the ED triage nurse to undertake a rapid client assessment, assign a clinically appropriate triage score, and then refer the client to a mental health clinician. The initial assessment is important, and a number of factors influence the process of triage, referral and response including an understanding of mental health presentation acuity. Aim: To understand the factors that influence the ED triage assessment, referral and clinical response of clients with a mental illness. Methods: An ethnographic methodology underpinned the research design. ED triage nurses and mental health triage nurses who worked in a regional hospital provided insights through interviews and observations. The study was also informed by institutional policies and procedures regarding triage. Transcribed in-depth interviews, field notes and memos were analysed using an inductive thematic process. Findings: Mental health triage nurses and ED triage nurses concur that triage is an important part of the assessing process for a person who presents to the ED with a mental health problem. Timely and clinically accurate assessment, followed by referral and response is strongly influenced by the user knowledge of the mental health triage scale, and comprehension of mental health acuity. The conflicting understandings between the two professional nursing groups, called professionally cultured orientations, further impact this process. Conclusion: Professionally cultured orientation to mental health triage and acuity comprehension influence the process of emergency mental health triage and therefore may affect optimal client outcomes. Further research into ED triage design, ED triage education, and a shared understanding of acuity is called for.

Experiences of mental health nurses working in general practice: A qualitative study.

Background: This paper reports on a qualitative study utilising in-depth interviews of sixteen Australian mental health nurses (MHNs) working in general practice. On 1st July 2015, the commonwealth government of Australia established 31 primary health networks (PHN) to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for people, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes, and to improve coordination of care. Aim: This study explores the experiences of Australian MHNs working in general practice. Design: Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Four themes emerged through the data analysis: (1) autonomy and flexibility, (2) opportunity for more clinically focused work, (3) health promotion and preventative health and (4) excited to work in general practice. Findings: Study Participants identified many clinical opportunities working in primary practice and noted that the autonomy and flexibility of their role was quite different from other areas they had previously worked. They reported having more time to spend with the patients and being able to engage in health promotion. Conclusions: In order to make mental health care more accessible it is important to have a well-qualified workforce within primary health care (PHC) settings such as general practice. The participants of this study have identified ways they have been best utilised in the Primary Care workforce. They embrace the autonomy of the role and the ability to engage with consumers by providing clinical interventions that can assess and intervene with people experiencing mental illness.

Psychiatric-mental health nursing workforce in 2018: Implications for the future.

The workforce was examined using the 2018 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses to determine supply characteristics and perspectives of psychiatric-mental health nurses. The study looked at the success in achieving some of the workforce related recommendations of the Future of Nursing. A strong foundation exists for increasing the contributions of psychiatric-mental health nursing to overcoming shortages of mental health professionals and to improving access to mental health care. More work needs to be done to remove regulatory barriers to promote practicing to the extent of knowledge, education and training. Overall, the psychiatric-mental health nursing workforce is primed for the future.

Exploring a social work lead mindfulness-based intervention to address burnout among inpatient psychiatric nurses: a pilot study.

Acute psychiatric nurses experience workplace stressors related to organizational factors including staffing shortages, along with interpersonal conflict with patients and colleagues. The pilot study examined the experience of burnout among acute care psychiatric nurses and the usefulness of a social work lead mindfulness-based intervention for reducing burnout elements. Findings indicated participants experienced emotional exhaustion associated with their work, but also a significant degree of personal accomplishment. Nurses identified the intervention as having the potential to promote better emotional regulation in the workplace and beyond. Social worker education on mindfulness techniques may represent an untapped resource for improving the emotional wellness and effective patient care.

Prevalence of burnout among nurses working at a psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape.

BACKGROUND: Nurses are exposed to stress when working in the mental health care environment. This may be because of nurses being frontline health care providers. They develop close interpersonal relationships with mental health care users (MHCUs), which is inherent in the type of care that is provided. Mental health nursing may therefore be demanding and stressful, which could render mental health nurses susceptible to burnout. OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of burnout among nurses working at a selected psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape. METHODS: A quantitative, descriptive, survey design, by using simple random sampling was used to select 198 nurses employed at a psychiatric hospital in the Western Cape, South Africa. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey measuring emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment was used to collect the data. Domain scores were calculated, and the influence of the demographic variables on the domains was tested with independent samples Kruskal-Wallis tests and Mann-Whitney U tests. RESULTS: The study had a 100% response rate. Most of the respondents experienced low emotional exhaustion, low depersonalisation and high personal accomplishment. Enrolled nursing assistants reported significantly higher emotional exhaustion than did the advanced psychiatric nurses and professional registered nurses. Respondents with more than 5 years of experience scored significantly higher in depersonalisation. No respondents met the criteria for burnout on all three domains. CONCLUSION: Maintaining a safe working environment with adequate nursing staff is recommended. Strategies to prevent burnout in the future include the provision of resources and the promotion of open communication between staff and management.

Effectiveness of nurses training in routine screening of violence against women with mental illness: A randomized controlled trail.

BACKGROUND: Globally, people with mental illness are highly vulnerable to various forms of abuse. Yet, research on routine screening of violence by mental health professionals is limited. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of training on nurses' attitudes towards routine screening and confidence in implementing routine screening of violence among women with mental illness. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial design was adopted for the present study. The participants of this study were 68 nurses randomly assigned to either experimental or control group (34 in each group). The experimental group was provided eight interactive sessions based on a Nursing Module on abuse among women with mental illness. The assessments were done in both groups at baseline, after the intervention, at three months and at six months. All assessments were self-rated questionnaires to assess nurses' attitudes and confidence in implementing routine screening of violence attitudes. RESULTS: The experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in the attitudes and confidence in implementing routine screening of abuse in women with mental illness (p < 0.05) than the control group. Repeated measures of analysis also revealed statistically significant differences related to attitude and confidence in implementing routine screening of abuse between the groups and within the experimental group at different time points of assessment (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study concluded that training based on a nursing module improved nurses' attitudes and confidence to conduct routine screening of violence among women with mental illness. However, further studies are necessary to clarify whether the training is effective in implementing in nursing practice.

Is there any association among depressive symptoms, job satisfaction and self-assessed empathy? A correlational study in Greek Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurses.

A descriptive correlational design was applied to explore association among self-assessed depressive symptoms, job satisfaction and self-assessed empathy in 206 Greek Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Personnel (PMHNP). Depressive symptom intensity was associated with satisfaction from performed tasks (r = -0.157, p = 0.033), professional prestige (r = -0.255, p < 0.0001), relations with colleagues (r = -0.263, p < 0.0001) and empathy (r = -0.183, p = 0.013). In a regression model, only satisfaction from relations and workload remained significant depressive symptom predictors after controlling for important covariates. The quality of relations with colleagues and workload are important predictors of PMHNPs self-perceived mental health well-being, independently of clinicians' self-assessed empathy or overall professional satisfaction.

Lived experiences of psychiatric patients with mood disorders who attended group therapy facilitated by professional psychiatric nurses.

BACKGROUND: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), up to 25% of people worldwide will develop mental health disorders during their lifetime. Patients admitted to acute inpatient units for mood disorders experience emotional distress. Group therapy has the potential to foster the therapeutic change through specific therapeutic mechanisms. Psychiatric nurses working in inpatient units are in a unique position to offer group therapy. OBJECTIVES: Explore and describe stabilised acute psychiatric patients with mood disorders' lived experiences of group therapy facilitated by psychiatric nurses. Make specific recommendations for psychiatric nurses to facilitate constructive group therapy for stabilised acute psychiatric patients with mood disorders in an inpatient unit. METHOD: A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used in the study. A purposive sample of all patients with mood disorders older than 18 years admitted to inpatient units who participated in group therapy was made. Data were collected through conducting phenomenological interviews, observation and field notes. Interviews focussed on the following open question: 'How did you experience group therapy facilitated by the psychiatric nurses?' An independent coder analysed the data by using thematic coding. Measures to ensure trustworthiness were applied. The following four ethical principles were adhered to: autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and justice. RESULTS: Three themes emerged from this study. Theme 1 entailed the psychological experiences of patients attending group therapy. Theme 2 highlighted the interpersonal experiences of patients. Theme 3 evolved around patients' experiences outside group therapy. Patients initially experienced attending group therapy as anxiety provoking. However, negative psychological experiences soon transformed into positive psychological experiences. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study were used to make specific recommendations to facilitate constructive group therapy for patients with mood disorders.

Patient Satisfaction With Psychiatric Nursing Care: A Survey in Calabar, Nigeria.

Nurses have the most contact with patients and therefore play vital roles in their satisfaction with health care services. The current study aimed to assess patient satisfaction with nursing care in Calabar, Nigeria using the Newcastle Satisfaction with Nursing Scale. One hundred eighty-five patients were surveyed, with a mean age of 33.5 (SD = 9.4 years). Mean percentage satisfaction score was 60.4% (SD = 19.2%). Eighty-two (44.3%) patients were dissatisfied with nursing care. Common areas of dissatisfaction were type of information nurses provided (54.6%), privacy nurses provided (52.4%), time spent with patient (51.4%), and nurses' helpfulness to patient (51.4%). Prevalence of dissatisfaction was more common among respondents who were 40 or younger, as well as among males (p < 0.05). There was a high prevalence of dissatisfaction with psychiatric nursing care in the current study setting. Areas of dissatisfaction and their implications for improvement in nursing care in developing countries are discussed. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 58(5), 50-55.].

The association between mental health nurse to registered nurse ratio and patient outcomes in psychiatric inpatient wards: Protocol for a systematic review.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Nursing skill mix research has primarily focused on medical and surgical patients. The association between nursing skill mix and clinical outcomes for psychiatric inpatients has not been adequately explored. No systematic reviews have been reported that have examined the association between the ratio of mental health to registered nurses and patient outcomes. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: Our protocol sets out, in detail, the methods we intend to follow to ensure that this review is conducted and reported to the highest possible standards. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: The review will summarize evidence about safe staffing in mental health inpatient units internationally. The review will inform health policy and planning of health services. ABSTRACT: Aim To assess the association between mental health nurse to comprehensive/general nurse ratio and relapse-determined by hospital admission-in adult psychiatric inpatients. Background information There is considerable variation in psychiatric inpatient nursing skill mix internationally. In most countries, wards are typically staffed by a mix of mental health and comprehensive/general nurses. To date, there have been no systematic reviews that have examined the association between the ratio of mental health to registered nurses and patient outcomes. Method We will systematically search five databases. Risk of bias will be determined using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool. A meta-analysis will be undertaken if there are at least two similar studies. Results For included studies, we will produce table summarizing risk of bias and extracted data. If we are able to undertake a meta-analysis, this will be reported as a forest plot. Discussion This paper sets out a detailed plan for a systematic review of mental health nurse skill mix research. Implications for practice High-quality evidence about the association between nursing skill mix and patient outcomes is important to inform the planning of mental health services internationally.

Expanding Use of Nurse Home Visiting for Community Psychiatric Care in Japan.

In Japan, Community-based integrated care systems are being built in response to a super-aged society and policies of de-institutionalization. In this paper, we present findings and discussion of our review about Japanese psychiatric home visit nursing services provided by Home Visit Nursing Stations (HVNS). We have examined documents, investigated the implementation rate and summarized findings of the surveys of home visiting services from 2006 to 2016. The number of users of psychiatric home visiting services during 2007 to 2015 increased from 13,532 to 52,203. From 2013 to 2015 there was a large increase in user numbers, from 31,248 to 52,208. The implementation rate of psychiatric home visiting also increased steadily from 35.5% in 2006 to 58.3% in 2016. These changes reflected the impact of policy on psychiatric service usage in Japan. We should be able to detect the outcome of psychiatric home visiting nursing in influencing patient's quality of daily life and their recovery.

Psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes towards containment methods in psychiatric inpatient care.

AIMS: This research was conducted to examine psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes towards containment methods. BACKGROUND: Nursing management is regarded as a key issue in the reduction of coercion and containment. However, there has been little research on managers' attitudes towards containment methods. METHODS: This descriptive, cross-sectional study utilized a survey design. Finnish inpatient psychiatric nursing managers (n = 90) completed the Attitudes to Containment Measures Questionnaire (ACMQ). The results were described with statistics, and the associations between attitudes and background variables were analysed using parametric tests. RESULTS: Psychiatric nursing managers had the most negative attitude towards net bed and mechanical restraint, and the most positive attitudes towards as necessary medication and intermittent observation. A few associations were discovered between attitudes and background variables such as gender and number of employees. CONCLUSIONS: In general, Finnish psychiatric nursing managers' attitudes towards containment methods seem to be quite negative, but more research is needed. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: This study provides fresh and unique data on the attitudes of psychiatric nursing managers towards containment methods. Managers' attitudes are important because of their ability to encourage investment in coercion reduction by nursing staff.

Adherence to the distress screening through oncology nurses and integration of screening results into the nursing process to adapt psychosocial nursing care five years after implementation.

PURPOSE: Addressing psychosocial distress is an essential part of cancer care. Therefore, nurses at the University Hospital Zurich have been screening all cancer inpatients with the Distress Thermometer (DT) since 2012. Screening is ineffective without any form of psychosocial intervention. We aimed to identify adherence to the screening protocol and how the reported problems influenced the nursing process. We compared changes in the documentation before and after screening implementation. METHODS: This retrospective descriptive study used screening data and documentation of psychosocial items in the nursing process of inpatients at an oncologic ward. These data were compared with data obtained before screening implementation and were collected from electronic health records. All data were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS: 65% (N = 1111) of the 2166 inpatients were screened. With the implementation, more psycho-oncological referrals were made (4.5% vs. 11.7%) and more psychosocial issues were described in the nursing process (24.6% vs. 51.2%). Inpatients mentioned emotional problems in 37.5% (N = 353) and physical problems in 47.4% (N = 504) of cases. 15.7% (147) had a psychosocial nursing diagnosis. Only 10.7% (N = 26) of patients who noted anxiety, also had a nursing diagnosis of "anxiety". In contrast, 71.1% (N = 202) of patients who noted pain, had a nursing diagnosis of "pain". CONCLUSIONS: Although nurses are more sensitised to psychosocial issues after DT implementation, they do not use screening results to adapt nursing documentation to the psychosocial needs of the patients. Further studies are needed to investigate how distress screening and psychosocial issues can be integrated into nurses' daily work.

The effectiveness of assertiveness training program on psychological wellbeing and work engagement among novice psychiatric nurses.

AIM: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an assertiveness training program on psychological wellbeing and work engagement among novice psychiatric nurses. DESIGN: A quasi-experimental design was utilized (one group pre/post assessment). SETTING: The study was conducted at The Abbasia hospital for mental health in Cairo, Egypt. SUBJECTS: The subjects of the study were 36 novice nurses who were starting their careers the hospital during 2017/2018. TOOLS: The current study used four tools for collecting the data: socio-demographic data sheet, Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, Riff's Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. RESULTS: The study results revealed a statistically significant difference between measure one and measure two intervention program regarding assertiveness skills, psychological well-being, and work engagement. Also, there was a significant positive correlation between the total mean scores of assertiveness skills and total mean scores of psychological well-being. CONCLUSIONS: This single-group feasibility study demonstrated that assertiveness training for novice nurses seems feasible. It may achieve a favorable outcome in developing assertiveness skills and improving psychological wellbeing. RECOMMENDATIONS: Further randomized controlled trials with more extended follow-up periods are required.

W(h)ither psychiatry? Contemporary challenges in Australian mental health workforce design.

OBJECTIVE: To consider the changing profile of Australia's mental health workforce and the implications, particularly for specialist psychiatry services. METHOD: We analyse data from a national collection that describes changes in the workforce over a decade, to 2017-2018. RESULTS: While single practitioner-based psychological services flourish, other areas of more complex and team-based care are struggling to remain relevant. Psychiatry and mental health nursing, two areas that previously led Australia's response to complex mental illness, are under enormous pressure. CONCLUSION: The shifting balance of specialised mental health workforces is affecting the mental healthcare available in each region of Australia. Questions arise regarding the desired or optimal mix of professionals we wish to deploy. What roles should each professional group play and how should they work together? What does this mean for how various groups should be trained and paid? These data challenge the role specialist psychiatry wishes to play in leading reform. Current mental health reforms risk foundering should psychiatrists fail to take up the challenge of leadership.

Antipsychotic medication side effects knowledge amongst registered mental health nurses in England: A national survey.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: Research findings indicate the percentage of knowledge-related errors in medicines management is high, accounting for approximately 75% of all errors, with insufficient knowledge levels one of the most significant contributors of medication errors. Patients should be able to trust nurses to engage therapeutically and actively listen to their needs and concerns, responding using skills that are helpful, providing information that is clear, accurate, meaningful and free from jargon. However, without knowledge of pharmacology, it is impossible for nurses to be able to provide adequate advice. WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO THE EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: This study has examined an area that had not yet been systematically examined previously, which draws together previous research findings on mental health nurses' knowledge of adverse events, including side effects and medication errors, related to antipsychotic medication within NHS inpatient settings. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE?: A recent study has found that almost three-quarters (73%) of patients taking antipsychotic medication reported side effects to some degree. This high number of people experiencing antipsychotic medication side effects is likely to compromise care, especially in situations where nurses have inadequate knowledge of side effects and are unable to provide effective advice to patients. The findings from this study allow the mental health nursing profession an opportunity to reflect on the best means to increase knowledge and increase patient safety awareness and benefits for mental health service users. ABSTRACT: Introduction Antipsychotic medications play a significant role in the treatment and recovery of people with several psychiatric disorders. However, research findings indicate mental health nurses are insufficiently knowledgeable about antipsychotic medication side effects. Aim To assess practising mental health nurses' knowledge of antipsychotic medication side effects using a Multiple-Choice Questionnaire (MCQ) across National Health Service (NHS) Trusts in England. Hypothesis Knowledge of antipsychotic medication side effects amongst registered mental health nurses is related to their academic qualification, clinical banding and length of experience. Method A national survey of registered mental health nurses was carried out using an online questionnaire which was disseminated by Research and Development departments. Results A total of 504 questionnaires were returned, 245 of which had full data and further analysed. The mean score for the sample was 14.4 and only 21 participants attained a mark of >80%. Implications for Practice Two out of three of our hypotheses (that length of experience and clinical banding are directly related to knowledge of antipsychotic medication side effects) were supported. Our study found many nurses have a suboptimal working knowledge of antipsychotic medication side effects which has the potential to compromise care. Strategies need to be put in place to enhance pharmacology knowledge.

Mobile community learning programme's effectiveness in case management for psychiatric nurses: A preliminary randomised controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: The global health care system has applied case management (CM) as a care delivery service provided by nurses. Nurses require continuing education in CM to enhance their professional knowledge and competence. Mobile communities have been used to promote continuing education for medical professionals. However, limited studies have examined the effectiveness of such learning programmes in CM for psychiatric nurses. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile community learning (MCL) programme in CM for psychiatric nurses. DESIGN: This study used an experimental two-group pre- and post-test design. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: Psychiatric nurses employed in a psychiatric teaching hospital situated in northern Taiwan were recruited. METHODS: Nurses were randomly allocated to the experimental or comparison group. The former participated in the learning intervention in CM. The CM knowledge index and a competence scale were used to determine outcomes. Pre-tests and 2-month post-tests were conducted. The MCL programme comprised five simulated learning modules, self-assessment questions, learning cases, learning resources and experience sharing. A two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on target outcomes. RESULTS: The questionnaires were completed by 48 participants. The two groups possessed high homogeneity with regard to characteristics and pre-test outcomes. Differences between the two groups regarding CM knowledge (F = 22.99, p < .01) and competence (F = 6.33, p = .015) were significant. The programme had a positive benefit on the learning experience in the experimental group; the mean satisfaction score for the programme reached 4.27 (range, 1-5). CONCLUSIONS: MCL programmes for psychiatric nurses can effectively enhance CM knowledge and competence. However, these methods cannot completely replace the continuing education approach for achieving CM competence.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners Meeting Rural Mental Health Challenges.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the current rural mental health system crisis in the United States and how psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can holistically mitigate this systemic issue. METHOD: Respective to the objective, relevant literature is reviewed. RESULTS: PMHNPs have successfully increased access to care in underserved rural communities by practicing at the fullest extent of their scope without mandated supervision, utilizing telepsychiatry practice, while expanding PMHNP rural mental health education and research to meet and absolve pressing rural mental health challenges. CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence supports that rural mental health care improves when PMHNPs have full scope of practice, utilize telepsychiatry, engage in related scholarly activity, and have formalized education and training for rural health care delivery, which collectively answer the professional and moral call serving the underserved rural population with mental illness.

A measure to assess the workplace well-being of psychological practitioners.

The well-being of psychological practitioners is a key factor in the effective delivery of psychological therapies and the effectiveness of mental health services. Despite this, there are no measures of well-being for this professional group. The 26-item psychological practitioner workplace well-being measure (PPWWM) measures psychological well-being for psychological practitioners and was informed by a qualitative study. Items were generated and then verified by groups of practitioners using sorting tasks. The items reflect a broad range of issues relevant to the workplace well-being of psychological practitioners. The PPWWM was validated with a sample of 400 psychological practitioners recruited through professional networks. Internal consistency (α = .92) and test-retest reliability (r = .94) were high. Construct validity was indicated by positive correlations with the Health and Safety Executive Management Standards Indicator Tool and Satisfaction with Life Scale and negative correlation with the General Health Questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis produced six factors, explaining 61.2% of the variance: professional and organizational; support and flexibility; professional role; physical environment; clinical supervision; and external personal. PPWWM scores were not significantly associated with a range of demographic variables (gender, health/disability, profession, and type of organization), but it did correlate significantly and negatively with age. The PPWWM has potential application as a brief measure, suitable for large-scale surveys that specifically measures workplace well-being in psychological practitioners. Future research could include cross validation with new samples and validation with subgroups of psychological practitioners.
