A protocol for a cross-sectional survey exploring the work lives and well-being of the mental health nursing workforce in the UK
Background: demand for mental health services is high, but so are vacancy levels for registered nurses in mental health. To effectively address the workforce disparity, we need to engage with nurses to understand better the rewards and challenges of being part of the UK’s mental health nursing workforce.

Aim: to identify modifiable workplace factors impacting nurses' work lives and well-being.

Method: a protocol for an online cross-sectional survey exploring the work lives and well-being of registered nurses working in mental health in the UK.

Implications: this survey will provide an understanding of the daily challenges and rewards of mental health nursing. In understanding the modifiable workplace factors impacting nurses, we provide the evidence and recommendations necessary to develop and implement workplace policies and interventions supporting nurse retention, recruitment, and well-being.

Abstract

Background: demand for mental health services is high, but so are vacancy levels for registered nurses in mental health. To effectively address the workforce disparity, we need to engage with nurses to understand better the rewards and challenges of being part of the UK’s mental health nursing workforce.

Aim: to identify modifiable workplace factors impacting nurses' work lives and well-being.

Method: a protocol for an online cross-sectional survey exploring the work lives and well-being of registered nurses working in mental health in the UK.

Implications: this survey will provide an understanding of the daily challenges and rewards of mental health nursing. In understanding the modifiable workplace factors impacting nurses, we provide the evidence and recommendations necessary to develop and implement workplace policies and interventions supporting nurse retention, recruitment, and well-being.
