Reducing the Physical Labor of Care Workers for Dementia Patients

澳大利亚对痴呆症患者的护理是单独调整的，这提高了患者的生活质量，促进了他们的自主性。澳大利亚痴呆症护理的特点是由团队进行护理，并使用机器/设备和IT。因此，减轻了照护者的身体负担，有助于预防职业伤害。研究表明，使照顾者和受助者都感到安全的痴呆症护理有利于减轻照顾工作，因为这种服务为照顾者提供了身体和精神上的满足，有助于维持他们的良好健康。

Care for dementia patients in Australia is adjusted individually, which improves the QOL (quality of life) of those patients and promotes their autonomy. Australian dementia care features care giving conducted by teams, and the use of machines/equipment and IT. As a result, the physical burden on care givers is reduced, helping to prevent occupational injuries. It has been shown that dementia care that allows both care givers and receivers to feel safe is advantageous to relieve care work, since such service provides both physical and mental satisfaction to care givers, assisting in the maintenance of their good health.
