Improving carer’s quality of life and quality of care

该项目将提高澳大利亚护工协会和社会服务部的能力，以评估和提高他们实施的服务的成功程度，以支持澳大利亚270万无薪护工。尽管有强有力的证据表明护理人员的生活质量存在危机，但目前对哪些支持和服务最有助于提高护理人员的生活质量及其提供的护理质量知之甚少。通过在现有数据集的基础上收集横截面和纵向数据，该项目将实现基于证据的服务设计和提供，从而在社会、情感和经济上为护理人员提供支持，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.
