Improving carer’s quality of life and quality of care

该项目将提高澳大利亚照顾者和社会服务部评估和加强其为支持澳大利亚270万无偿照顾者而实施的服务的成功的能力。目前，关于哪些支持和服务最有助于改善照顾者的生活质量，以及它们提供的护理质量，人们知之甚少，尽管有强有力的证据表明，照顾者存在生活质量危机。通过收集横断面和纵向数据以建立在现有数据集的基础上，该项目将能够以证据为基础设计和提供服务，在社会、情感和经济上支持照顾者，同时使他们能够提供高质量的护理。

This project will improve the ability of Carers Australia and the Department of Social Services to evaluate and enhance the success of services they implement to support Australia’s 2.7 million unpaid carers. Currently little is known about which support and services most help improve quality of life for carers, and the quality of care they provide, despite strong evidence of a quality of life crisis amongst carers. By collecting cross sectional and longitudinal data to build on an existing data set, this project will enable evidence-based design and delivery of services that support carers socially, emotionally and financially while enabling them to provide high quality care.
