Using experience-based co-design approach to address mental health issues among healthcare workers and leaders in long-term care
The findings highlight the pressing need for tailored systemic interventions to effectively address burnout and moral distress among LTC workers and leaders. By employing a co-design approach, this study offers critical insights into the lived experiences of these workers, informing the development and refinement of burnout assessment tools to better reflect the unique needs of this workforce. Developing a BAT, co-created by and for LTC workers, coupled with robust support systems, is crucial to addressing the rising distress and fostering resilience within this vital sector.
