‘A fascinating time to be involved with research’: Exploring the impact of COVID-19 on postgraduate psycho-oncology researchers
Key points
To explore UK postgraduate researcher (PGRs) COVID-19 experiences, the British Psychosocial Oncology Society (BPOS) conducted an online survey
23 respondents’ qualitative data were analysed thematically and summarised using the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) framework
COVID-19 offered opportunities to develop online skills, resilience, and adaptability, whilst opening wellbeing conversations
PGRs reported practical difficulties, social isolation, unhealthy work/life balance and concerns about future careers
PGRs have had an unprecedented and continually evolving experience; BPOS and relevant institutions must continue to provide adequate support and development opportunities to safeguard their futures
