The study investigates paramedics’ coping actions for sustainable long-term work performance and burnout prevention. The research focuses on what individuals are doing to cope with their day-to-day stressors and the actions they take that may contribute to recovery and be protective against burnout. The research will involve short interviews to collect the data which should take 30 minutes. The interview will be conducted online (e.g. via Microsoft Teams). During the interview, the participant will be asked a series of questions about their experience of their job as a paramedic. Specifically, we will ask about day-to-day responsibilities, how individuals cope with these and if there are any challenges to applying coping strategies. With permission, the interview will be recorded, but participants can choose to keep their cameras off if they wish. Inclusion criteria: current or former practising paramedics, aged 18 and over, who can give informed consent. Exclusion criteria: Paramedic Students or individuals currently diagnosed with and receiving treatment for mental health disorders, such as burnout, mood and anxiety disorders.
