Research summary
Working within forensic settings can be emotionally challenging and stressful, however, there is a lack of research in this area that focuses on forensic inpatient settings and a range of disciplines. This study will, therefore, aim to explore coping, mindfulness, burnout and occupational stress amongst health care professionals employed within forensic inpatient settings. It will employ a postal questionnaire design and professionals will be recruited from low and medium secure forensic services in Wales. This research will hopefully help us to understand the nature of the relationship between coping and mindfulness on occupational burnout and stress, and it will also inform our clinical practice regarding the design of future interventions to help reduce occupational burnout and stress.
