Tell us about your well-being at work

摘要

Has a manager ever said to you at the end of your shift: 'You've had a difficult day - how are you doing? Are you okay?' And if they have, did you feel you were able to answer honestly, which may have meant sounding 'weak' or lacking in that much sought-after quality of resilience? Unfortunately, many nurses and students do not get asked these questions or may not disclose they are struggling even when they are. The Laura Hyde Foundation, set up in memory of a nurse who died by suicide, recommends that managers - and colleagues -ask the 'okay?' question. The charity provides mental health seminars for NHS organisations and raises mental health issues at management level.
