We offer a broad understanding of contemporary issues relevant to the long-term care (LTC) sector and its workers, globally, and the concurrent evolution and involution of these workers' roles, their work and policy environments. While contemporary, most issues are also longstanding and fall into two broad categories: issues relating to the work environments in LTC, including resource availability and worker support, and issues relating to the changing nature of LTC work. We identify five key challenges that relate to the system structures of the LTC sector.
我们提供了对长期护理(LTC)领域及其全球工作人员相关的当代问题的广泛理解,以及这些工作人员角色、他们的工作和政策环境的同时演变和内爆。虽然是当代的,但大多数问题也是长期存在的,可以分为两大类:与 LTC 工作环境有关的问题,包括资源的可获得性和工作人员的支持,以及与 LTC 工作性质不断变化有关的问题。我们确定了与 LTC 部门系统结构有关的五个关键挑战。
