背景作为国际，多中心项目的一部分，澳大利亚家庭照顾者的服务和支持需求进行了调查。方法对1，390，448名家庭照顾者进行了自我报告调查，包括家庭需求调查（FNS）和几个开放式问题的改编。采用混合方法设计，采用定量和定性分析。结果在FNS上，最常被认可的项目是那些与需要有关服务的信息有关的项目，特别是未来的家庭住宿。同样，超过80%的受访者赞同需要临时服务。评论指出，获得喘息、日间支持和治疗方案的机会和质量是一个优先事项。与会者表示需要更多地获得信息。获得适当的喘息选择，以及高质量的日间支持和治疗服务，仍然是家庭照顾者的优先事项。
Background As part of an international, multicentre project, the service and support needs of Australian family carers were investigated. Method A sample of 1,390, 448 family carers completed a self-report survey, including an adaptation of the Family Needs Survey (FNS) and several open-ended questions. A mixed method design was used, employing quantitative and qualitative analyses. Results On the FNS the most frequently endorsed items were those relating to the need for information about services and, in particular, future, out-of-home accommodation. Similarly, the need for respite services was endorsed by over 80% of respondents. Comments indicated that access to and the quality of respite, day support, and therapy programs were a priority. Conclusions Participants expressed the need for greater access to information. Access to appropriate respite options, together with quality day support and therapy services, remain a priority for family carers.
