Description
Summary:The well-being of the psychiatric rehabilitation workforce is a growing concern, particularly as a result of the stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for mental health services. Research focusing on this aspect of psychiatric rehabilitation services remains limited but is important in supporting a resilient mental health workforce. This special section presents four papers that focus on aspects of worker well-being and burnout, including drivers of well-being and other outcomes, as well as exploring potential action steps and contexts that organizations could consider in their efforts to bolster well-being. Impact and Implications Although research remains limited, workforce well-being is a major concern within psychiatric rehabilitation settings. Organizations can capitalize on the findings from studies in this special section to develop a better understanding of the drivers of well-being and related outcomes, as well as develop ideas for how to improve psychiatric rehabilitation workforce well-being.
