When caring ends: Understanding and supporting informal care trajectories

该项目旨在促进对如何，为什么，何时以及为谁提供护理的理解，包括在护理之前，期间和之后塑造体验的社会文化和关系因素。该项目采用创新的、多方法的社会学方法，并突出照顾者的声音，期望产生关于照顾和照顾的意义和经验的新知识。这个项目是重要的，汇集了领先的研究人员和关键的照顾为重点的组织，跨越服务部门和跨照顾关系，生命阶段和背景移动。预期成果包括增强服务能力，带来切实的政策和做法惠益，使非正式护理经历能够持续和充实。

This project aims to advance understandings of how, why, when, and for whom caring ends, including the socio-cultural and relational factors that shape experiences before, during, and after caring. Using an innovative, multi-method sociological approach, and foregrounding carers’ voices, this project expects to generate new knowledge on the meaning and experience of care and caring. This project is significant in bringing together leading researchers and key carer-focused organisations, spanning service sectors and moving across care relationships, life stages and contexts. Expected outcomes include enhanced service capacity with tangible policy and practice benefits that will enable sustainable and fulfilling informal caring experiences.
