Summary

This trial tests how a resource navigator can help care home staff access health and wellness resources, to improve their wellness, burnout, and vaccine uptake.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for full-time or part-time employees aged 18 and older who work in Ontario long-term care or retirement homes, including PSWs and support staff. Participants must be comfortable with English and willing to use email for study communications.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if resource navigators can improve the wellness of long-term care and retirement home staff by providing one-on-one support. It compares a group with navigator access to a control group without it, focusing on wellness, burnout, vaccine status, and COVID-19 outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves non-medical assistance rather than drugs or medical procedures, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect effects on stress levels or emotional well-being.
