TIDES Phase 2 Interview Study

This study adopted a convergent parallel mixed-method study involving an online quantitative survey and qualitative interviews with three samples. Through a series of modified Delphi workshops (between September 2020 and December 2021) a wide range of stakeholders (service users, health and social care workers, members of the public), experts and advisory groups were involved in co-producing content for a survey module to be embedded into an existing national longitudinal study of NHS staff (NHS CHECK study involving 18 NHS Trusts in England), as well as topic guides for the qualitative interviews.  
The repository includes data from three samples:
a)  the “NHS CHECK study sample” (n=35) which were racial and ethnic minority health and social care staff who completed the NHS CHECK inequalities survey (to explore how COVID-19 has affected mental and physical health and occupational outcomes).
b)  the “post COVID-19 TIDES study healthcare practitioner” sample (n=26), followed up interviews with TIDES Phase 1 interview participants following the onset of the pandemic. In-depth interviews were conducted to understand the impact of COVID-19 on experiences of discrimination, bullying and harassment.
c)  the TIDES study “senior leaders and managers” sample (n= 24) includes senior staff and management from NHS Trusts and organisations nationally. In-depth interviews were conducted to investigate the structural factors underpinning adversity for racial and ethnic minority health and social care staff during the pandemic.  
This repository contains data from 86 semi-structured interviews conducted between November 2020–April 2022, with clinical and non-clinical NHS staff. Data collection was supported by the TIDES study team inclusive of three NHS Peer Researchers (trained racial and ethnic minority NHS staff from 3 NHS trusts), representing groups that are traditionally neglected and underrepresented in research either as participants, researchers or direct beneficiaries. We also partnered with Challenge Consultancy to complete the interviews with the senior leaders and managers' study samples. The interview topic guide included questions on; 
•  job role/responsibilities and changes since the pandemic 
•  how working in the NHS throughout the pandemic affected mental and physical health and occupational outcomes
•  participants’ experiences of discrimination, bullying and harassment
•  support and resources that were available to staff during this time
•  positive experiences, if any, or changes at work or outside of work for themselves or others.
•  Perceptions and experiences of the COVID-19 vaccine and rollout programme (the post-COVID-19 TIDES study healthcare practitioner, senior leaders and managers samples only).
Interviews were conducted via MS Teams or by telephone and lasted up to 90 minutes. Recordings were transcribed verbatim and personally identifiable data was removed to maintain the confidentiality of participants.

本研究采用收敛平行混合方法研究设计，涵盖在线定量问卷调查与质性访谈两个维度，共涉及三类研究样本。2020年9月至2021年12月期间，研究团队开展多轮改良德尔菲（Delphi）研讨会，邀请涵盖服务使用者、医疗卫生与社会护理工作者、普通公众在内的广泛利益相关者，以及专家与咨询小组，共同协作开发将嵌入现有英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS, National Health Service）员工全国纵向研究（即涉及英格兰18家NHS信托机构的NHS CHECK研究）的调查模块，以及质性访谈的访谈提纲。

本数据集涵盖三类样本的数据：
a) NHS CHECK研究样本（n=35）：为完成NHS CHECK不平等状况调查的少数种族与族裔医疗卫生及社会护理工作人员，该调查旨在探究新冠疫情对其身心健康与职业结局的影响。
b) 新冠疫情后TIDES研究医护人员样本（n=26）：为新冠疫情暴发后对TIDES第一阶段访谈参与者开展的追踪访谈。本研究通过深度访谈，旨在了解新冠疫情对受访者遭受歧视、欺凌与骚扰经历的影响。
c) TIDES研究“高级领导者与管理者”样本（n=24）：涵盖来自全国范围内NHS信托机构与相关组织的高级职员与管理人员。本研究通过深度访谈，探究疫情期间少数种族与族裔医疗卫生及社会护理工作人员遭遇困境背后的结构性因素。

本数据集包含2020年11月至2022年4月期间采集的86份半结构化访谈数据，受访对象为临床与非临床NHS工作人员。数据收集工作由TIDES研究团队支持，团队包含3名NHS同行研究者——均为来自3家NHS信托机构、经过专业培训的少数种族与族裔NHS工作人员，他们代表了在研究中传统上被忽视、代表性不足的群体，无论作为研究参与者、研究者还是直接受益方。研究团队还与Challenge Consultancy合作，完成了针对高级领导者与管理者样本的访谈工作。

本次访谈提纲包含以下议题：
• 工作岗位、职责及疫情以来的变化
• 疫情期间在NHS工作如何影响受访者的身心健康与职业结局
• 受访者遭受歧视、欺凌与骚扰的经历
• 此期间为工作人员提供的支持与资源情况
• 自身或他人在工作或生活中的积极经历（若有）及相关变化
• 对新冠疫苗及接种计划的认知与经历（仅针对新冠疫情后TIDES研究医护人员、高级领导者与管理者样本）

访谈通过微软团队（MS Teams）或电话进行，单场访谈时长最长可达90分钟。所有录音均被逐字转录，并移除了全部个人可识别信息，以保障受访者的隐私与保密性。申请使用本数据集的研究者可向TIDES研究团队申请获取完整的人口统计学信息。
