Flinders University researchers are seeking Australian paramedics with 2-15 years' experience to take part in a qualitative study exploring the lived experience of shift work, sleep loss, and fatigue in Australian paramedics.
The study will fill a much needed-gap in understanding the way shift work, sleep, and fatigue impact job function, mental health, and wellbeing in young paramedics. Findings will be used to develop shift work, sleep education, and support toolkits for Australian paramedics.
Participation will involve:
• One 60-90 minute semi-structured interview with a researcher
• Answering questions about your experience with shift work, fatigue, and stressful events
• A $50 gift card to recognise your time
