    Measurement matters: developing core outcome sets for measuring doctor and nurse wellbeing

    Background/context: poor wellbeing of healthcare staff negatively impacts patient care quality and satisfaction, leading to poor job satisfaction, increased sickness absence and workforce retention issues. There are calls for evidence-based strategies to address healthcare staff wellbeing, but in research and policy, there is currently no consensus on what healthcare staff wellbeing is or how it should be measured. The term ‘wellbeing’ is often used interchangeably with, or to describe, mental health, and consequently, wellbeing has become a measure of the absence of mental health disorders. A salutogenic approach that measures positive determinants, context, mechanisms, and individual and group wellbeing is more appropriate when considering doctor and nurse wellbeing measures [1]. Reaching agreement among NHS staff, policymakers, academics, and those involved in delivering wellbeing services is imperative to inform the future direction of healthcare staff wellbeing policies and interventions. This can be achieved by developing Core Outcome Sets (COS) – a consensus minimum group of outcomes with recommended measurement instruments. Method: a systematic review of wellbeing outcomes and measurement instruments, a survey of 250 UK doctors, and two doctor engagement workshops informed the creation of a list of 43 wellbeing outcomes categorised into five domains. Two online Delphi studies were used to reach a consensus on core outcome sets for measuring doctor (COS-DR) and nurse (COS-RN) wellbeing. Participants were recruited from four stakeholder groups: i) those who will use the COS in research, ii) representatives of organisations that measure/capture NHS staff wellbeing, iii) professionals with experience managing NHS staff wellbeing, and iv) doctors and nurses working in the NHS. Outcomes were rated on a 9-point Likert scale; consensus was reached when &lt;75% agreed that an outcome was critical for inclusion in the COS. Results: fifty-nine participants completed two rounds of the COS-DR Delphi, and 45 completed two rounds of the COS-RN Delphi. Seven outcomes met the threshold for inclusion in COS-DR: General wellbeing, Health, Personal safety, Job satisfaction, Morale, Life work balance, Good clinical practice. These same 7 outcomes were also deemed critical for inclusion in the COS-RN, with an additional 6 outcomes (Sleep, Positive relationships, Psychological needs satisfaction, Psychological safety, Compassion satisfaction, Satisfaction with patient care) meeting the threshold for inclusion to create a COS-RN with 13 wellbeing outcomes. Feedback from stakeholders and mapping of outcomes to existing measurement exercises (i.e. NHS staff survey, BMA survey) suggests relevance and acceptability for implementing these COS. Limitations: further research is required to identify and recommend reliable and valid measurement instruments for use with these COS. Implications: the use of the COS-DR and COS-RN in research, governance, and service and workforce planning might ensure wellbeing outcomes relevant to NHS staff and key stakeholders are captured and measured. Further, a salutogenic and consensus-based approach ensures that wellbeing is measured/captured, and not mental health pathologies. The common wellbeing outcomes in both the Doctors’ and Nurses’ COS suggest the potential for a harmonised COS for all healthcare staff – this warrants further investigation. Using these COS (for example, in staff surveys) will ensure a consistent and comprehensive focus, generate ‘big data’, make comparisons at organisational, local and national levels easier, and provide decision-makers with the evidence they need to inform future NHS staff wellbeing strategies, interventions and actions. In research, these COS provide a framework for between-study comparison, preventing duplication, and a means by which to identify wellbeing priorities to inform future funding

    Objectives To develop a core outcome set (COS) to capture and measure the well-being of doctors working in the National Health Service (NHS).Design An online Delphi study.Setting UK NHS.Participants Participants from four stakeholder groups: (1) those who might use the COS in research, (2) organisations that measure/capture NHS staff well-being, (3) professionals with experience managing NHS staff well-being and (4) NHS doctors were identified through authorship of relevant publications, attendee lists of doctor well-being conferences and meetings, professional bodies, participation in a previous study and recommendations from others. They were recruited via email.Interventions A two-stage process: (1) creating a list of 43 well-being outcomes informed by a systematic review of well-being measurement instruments, a survey of UK doctors and two doctor engagement workshops and (2) an online Delphi study (with two rounds) to reach consensus. Outcomes were rated on a 9-point Likert scale; ‘consensus’ was reached when ≥75% agreed that an outcome was critical for inclusion in the COS.Results 52 participants completed both Delphi rounds. Seven well-being outcomes met the threshold for inclusion in the COS: general well-being, health, personal safety, job satisfaction, morale, life work balance and good clinical practice.Conclusions Use of the COS has the potential to reduce heterogeneity and standardise the capture and measurement of doctor well-being, and ensure outcomes important to all stakeholders are reported.Trial registration This study was prospectively registered with the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trial initiative at www.comet-initiative.org (Registration: 1577)
