Health and wellbeing of university staff who educated students and developed the next generation of professionals University staff are the key people involved in delivering education and supporting the development of university students to successful professionals, irrespective of disciplines or settings. Professional or administration staff also play a critical role in day-to-day activities for academic staff and university students. Many issues are not apparent to students when they study at such a tertiary educational setting. There were significant financial impacts on universities during and after the pandemic globally, resulting in job cuts and increased workload on existing staff; this was in addition to adaptation to the new online environment of teaching and learning. University staff needs to deal with all those underlying stressful situations to deliver quality education to students. There have been several studies, published in the post-pandemic era, that examined the impact of changed environments on students. However, studies focusing on the health and wellbeing of university staff, specifically during the post-pandemic environment when the stress has been heightened, are non-existent. Professor Rahman and his team found that three in four staff had high levels of psychological distress, one in three staff perceived burn-out, and one in two staff showed high resilient coping. The study also identified several vulnerable groups of staff who had higher psychological impacts compared to other staff, such as females, staff with co-morbidities and staff with pre-existing mental health issues. Interestingly, the study also identified that many staff did not go through regular health assessments. As for example, one in three staff never checked their blood lipid profile, one in five staff never checked their blood sugar, 8% of staff never checked their own blood pressure, and 17% of staff never visited a health professional for a general health assessment. https://lnkd.in/gFA7NE5g

JAMAICA2030:NEIGHBOURHOODS FAMILIES SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES...with PROFESSOR ALLAM AHMED, WASD JAMAICA2030: Families, Neighbourhoods & Communities KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE Professor Allam Ahmed, President, World Association for Sustainable Development (WASD) Acceleration towards SDGs 2030 and the importance of systemic collaboration amongst Academic researchers and “sustainable self-effort economic development” within neighbourhoods and local communities. Case Study: Llandewey, St Thomas, Jamaica Model Windrush Anchor Heritage Education Programme (WAHEP) What role do academic researchers play in fostering systemic collaboration between local communities and global institutions to achieve sustainable development goals? What key metrics or indicators should be used to measure the success of collaborative efforts between academic institutions and local communities in achieving the SDGs? In the context of the JAMAICA2030 initiative, how important is the integration of local traditional knowledge and cultural heritage in shaping sustainable development strategies? How can the Llandewey, St Thomas, Jamaica Model serve as a blueprint for other communities globally in accelerating progress towards the SDGs by 2030? St Thomas Cultural Heritage Steering Group has provided the strategic direction and a practical approach to community mobilisation and programme initiation through descendants, residents and family expertise from the UK, USA and Canada focused on infrastructure renewal and cultural heritage restoration. The Steering Group established the 4Rs Youth & Sports Club and the 4Rs Community Forum to promote legacy values, respect, inclusion, inter-generational relationships, and civic pride as models for the future. https://lnkd.in/gJe_ppbt
