This session will outline a master’s thesis using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design to explore paramedic well-being with a strengths-based lens. At the Ottawa Paramedic Service, this study followed the thread of flourishing through a quantitative survey to semi-structured interviews utilizing narrative inquiry with an appreciative focus. There were five important senses associated with paramedic flourishing at work: sense of role identity congruence, sense of self, sense of coherence, sense of opportunity, and sense of connection. Exploring paramedic well-being with a strength-based lens provides an opportunity to learn from those that are actively thriving and replicate their flourishing to provide a picture of hope for the future.
Paige Mason is a special operations tactical paramedic with the Ottawa Paramedic Service. Paige recently finished her Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on paramedic well-being utilizing a strengths-based lens. She is a proud member of the McNally Project for Paramedicine Research and has continued interest in appreciative inquiry, occupational and organizational culture, and paramedic driven research.
