Building Resilience in Frontline Healthcare Workers During COVID-19 & Beyond: Insights from British Columbia Canada

We have completed a research project titled COVID-19 Pandemic and Psycho-Social and Occupational Wellbeing of Frontline Healthcare Workers in BC, funded in 2021 through the Michael Smith Health Research BC,
which is British Columbia’s health research agency. This project helped us to collect data from 400 frontline workers from BC. Using a unique combination of psychological, qualitative, and computer simulation data, Dr.Nikku and his team have tried to map the experiences of healthcare workers in home care and long-term care facilities across British Columbia during the pandemic. The data collection was completed in 2022, and we are analyzing the data and planning to publish the results in journals as a form of knowledge dissemination. The interns hired through MITACS will be helping us analyze the data and be involved in the co-publishing. By doing so, they will acquire data analysis, mapping, academic writing, and knowledge dissemination skills.
