PHARMACISTS and pharmacy staff are being urged to take part in a Stress and Wellbeing Survey being conducted on behalf of the Pharmacists' Support Service (PSS).
The survey consists of an online questionnaire of pharmacists, intern pharmacists and pharmacy students working in any branch of the profession in Australia, and is being undertaken to help the PSS and other professional organisations respond to identified stressful issues and situations.
The voluntary and anonymous survey is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5W9DGZY
The survey does not seek to undertake an in-depth exploration of the causes of stress -- a lot of this is already well known -- but focuses on:
How respondents cope with the pressures in today's challenging economic and regulatory environment
What sorts of barriers they encounter when seeking assistance
How well prepared they are to manage workplace related stress.
