A team of researchers from across Canada are seeking a family care partner to join their study which aims to explore the experiences of healthcare providers, residents, and family caregivers of residents in long-term care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of the research is to develop practice recommendations to support the wellbeing of residents and balance the requirement of infection prevention and control measures with the objectives of patient-centered care.
The family care partner will provide input on the team’s interview question guides that will be used for the interviews with family care partners and residents of long-term care homes and provide input on the recommendations developed from the interviews. The family care partner can draw on their own experiences as a family care partner during the pandemic, and current experiences.
