Abstract

ABSTRACT The wellbeing of doctoral students is an area that is well researched; however, no research has yet explored which factors of doctoral training have most impact upon trainee educational psychologist (TEP) wellbeing. TEPs across England and Wales completed a questionnaire to explore their doctoral wellbeing. Six themes were generated from a reflexive thematic analysis in relation to how academic and professional tutors can support wellbeing: facilitating relationships; adapting models of support; ensuring clear communication; addressing placement concerns; providing practical support and mediating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on doctoral study. Areas reported to have most impact on wellbeing included workload, making reasonable demands on self, having confidence in research, receiving quality feedback, and experiencing trusting relationships with supervisors. Findings were consistent with previous research and implications for those involved in the training of educational psychologists are discussed, including the need to prioritise wellbeing support in all aspects of training.

学术和专业导师在支持受训教育心理学家健康方面的作用

摘要博士生的幸福感是一个研究得很好的领域；然而，目前还没有研究探讨博士培训的哪些因素对受训教育心理学家（TEP）的幸福感影响最大。英格兰和威尔士的TEP完成了一份问卷调查，以探究他们的博士健康状况。关于学术和专业导师如何支持幸福感的反射性主题分析产生了六个主题：促进关系；调整支助模式；确保清晰的沟通；解决安置问题；为新冠肺炎疫情对博士研究的影响提供实际支持和调解。据报道，对幸福感影响最大的领域包括工作量、对自我提出合理要求、对研究有信心、收到高质量的反馈以及与主管建立信任关系。研究结果与之前的研究一致，并讨论了对参与教育心理学家培训的人的影响，包括在培训的各个方面优先考虑幸福支持的必要性。
