This study investigates the usefulness of the Self Care at Work Handbook in order to generate an improved version. Information from this study may help researchers identify potential factors associated with perception and usefulness of the Self Care at Work Handbook.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To explore the global perception of the perceived usefulness of the handbook, and the frequency that the handbook is consulted. II. To explore the perceived usefulness of and adherence to each individual item of the handbook. III. To solicit personnel for their ideas about the handbook, and particularly any additional handbook items they might suggest. IV. To explore any relationships between the actual use or the perceived importance of each handbook item with respondents' self-reported professional satisfaction. V. To explore any associations between responses to handbook items and professional, demographic, and work satisfaction characteristics before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. VI. To explore respondents' global perceptions of the usefulness and adherence to the handbook before and during the COVID-19 crisis. OUTLINE: Participants complete a survey over 20 minutes.

Global perception of usefulness
Will be assessed by survey question E, which has five options: very useful, useful, neither useful nor useless, useless and very useless. The main interest is the proportion of responders who select very useful and useful.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Frequency of consultation
Will be assessed by survey question D, which has five options: never, once a month or less, a few times a month, a few times a week and daily. The main interest is the proportion of responders who select daily and a few times a week.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Perceived usefulness of individual items
Will be assessed by survey question F 1-9. Frequency and proportion will be used to summarize each item. For responders who select neither useful nor useless, useless and very useless, additional questions about whether one item should be retained, discarded or modified will be summarized using frequency and proportion. Comments or suggestions will be collected for qualitative analysis.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Adherence to individual items
Will be assessed by survey question G 1-9. Frequency and proportion will be used to summarize each item. For responders who select neither useful nor useless, useless and very useless, additional questions about whether one item should be retained, discarded or modified will be summarized using frequency and proportion. Comments or suggestions will be collected for qualitative analysis.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
