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.
背景
作为一个国际多中心项目的一部分，对澳大利亚家庭照顾者的服务和支持需求进行了调查。
方法
1390448名家庭照顾者样本完成了一份自我报告调查，包括对家庭需求调查（FNS）的改编以及几个开放式问题。采用了混合方法设计，运用定量和定性分析。
结果
在家庭需求调查中，最常被认可的项目是那些与服务信息需求相关的项目，特别是未来的家庭外住宿信息需求。同样，超过80%的受访者认可对喘息服务的需求。评论表明，获得喘息服务、日间支持和治疗项目的机会以及这些服务的质量是一个优先事项。
结论
参与者表示需要更多的信息获取渠道。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。
