Giving justice to listening: exploring the impact of a novel dialogical approach to mental wellbeing on healthcare staff
This was the first study to evaluate JL in the United Kingdom and in a healthcare setting. Our findings show that there was an overwhelming impression of positive impact of the training on the professional and personal lives of healthcare staff. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on mental health interventions for healthcare professionals, providing evidence that can inform future practices and policies. JL presents a viable model to improve staff wellbeing. Our findings reinforce growing calls for a culture shift towards human connection.
