Research summary
We aim to work with Yorkshire Ambulance Service and their staff to explore burnout in their workforce as perceived/experienced by call-handling staff. The examination of this will be guided by current research and thinking in this field. Work is ongoing within Yorkshire Ambulance Service to support their staff in addressing factors affecting burnout levels, e.g. stress triggers, shift patterns, job content.
We will conduct interviews with up to 20 participants. In order to be as inclusive as possible, we will seek views from managers and different types/levels of staff. Our sample size is based on the assumption that 16-20 interviews are required to achieve meaningful saturation (Hennink et al., 2017). Data will be analysed using inductive thematic analysis and results discussed and disseminated within the study organisation.
