During the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHS Clinical Leaders Network (CLN) developed 'The North West Offer' for Enhancing Mental Health Resilience (EMHR) in the north west of England. The EMHR programme aimed to reinforce psychological resilience in the healthcare workforce; that is, enhance the mental, emotional and behavioural adaptation processes of the workforce to pandemic challenges. The present paper describes the EMHR programme, reviews its evaluation outcomes and proposes a series of recommendations regarding promoting psychological resilience in the healthcare workforce. Recommendations include establishing reflective support for leaders, promoting knowledge sharing between leaders and organisations, collaborating with a variety of internal and external partners to maximise staff access to psychological services, ensuring uninterrupted access to clinical psychologists for staff use and monitoring of at-risk staff. These recommendations are expected to strengthen mental health workforce resilience for stressors during business as usual as well as future pandemic planning.
在新冠疫情期间,英国国家医疗服务体系临床领导者网络(CLN)为增强英格兰西北部地区的心理健康恢复力(EMHR)制定了“西北方案”。EMHR项目旨在强化医护人员的心理恢复力;也就是说,增强医护人员面对疫情挑战时的心理、情绪和行为适应过程。本文介绍了EMHR项目,回顾了其评估结果,并就促进医护人员心理恢复力提出了一系列建议。建议包括为领导者建立反思性支持,促进领导者与组织之间的知识共享,与各类内部和外部伙伴合作,以使员工能最大限度地获得心理服务,确保员工能持续获得临床心理学家的服务并对高危员工进行监测。这些建议有望在正常工作期间以及未来的疫情规划中,增强心理健康工作人员应对压力源的恢复力。
