Abstract

Taking a clinical standpoint, Dr Roskruge has been awarded $31,494 to investigate how the nursing workforce is managing in the crisis and what measures are needed to sustain an already-pressured sector of healthcare. "Nurses are working on the front lines and experiencing the risks and vulnerabilities not only to themselves but also their whanau. Serious mental health consequences such as anxiety and depression may result, harming wellbeing and undermining our health system," he says. An emerging health economist, he will work with two internationally recognised researchers who are former frontline nurses, and aims to "change the way we value and support our nurses" and address workforce sustainability with resilience strategies for nursing staff and their employers.
