Project description
Nurturing resilience, taking care of long-term care workers and informal carers
In the realm of long-term care, the struggles of long-term care workers and informal carers often go unnoticed. The demanding nature of their roles takes a toll on mental well-being, creating a pressing need for support. In this context, the EU-funded WELL CARE project aims to fortify the resilience and mental health of long-term care workers and informal carers. Specifically, the project unfolds across four key objectives, including the identification of innovative solutions and the development of evidence-based recommendations for policymakers. Its focus is on gender, inclusion, and occupation-specific factors. The ripple effect of the care partnerships spans micro to macro levels, impacting individual well-being, providing tools for long-term care providers, and offering valuable insights for policymakers.
Objective
The WELL CARE project aims to strengthen supports available to long-term care (LTC) workers and informal carers for improving their resilience and mental well-being through care partnerships.
The WELL CARE project has four specific objectives for these target groups:
1) To review, organise and make available evidence and data (with a focus on gender, inclusion, occupation and non-occupation specific factors) on how to best support resilience and mental well-being: we will identify and analyse 40 good practices and perform 10 in-depth case studies;
2) To identify, evaluate and promote the adoption of innovative solutions and prototypes: we will develop 5-8 general solution prototypes, which will be implemented and tested with interested stakeholders (e.g. LTC providers and employers) in five European Union countries (Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden). We will provide resources, guidance and a helpdesk to sustain implementation and the creation of favourable local, regional and national ecosystems;
3) To develop and foster evidence-based and action-oriented recommendations for policy makers and stakeholders: we will analyse the policy, legislative, service and financing frameworks, also elaborating recommendations on the basis of data and evidence generated by the project;
4) To develop, implement and sustain a continuous process of research and co-design activities with end-users and stakeholders at national level: we will set up and implement Blended Learning Networks, establishing a participatory research design and addressing real needs and perspectives from the target groups.
The WELL CARE project will positively impact LTC workers’ and informal carers’ mental health and productivity (micro-level), as well as providing LTC providers with new solutions and tools for effective, efficient and sustainable support and retainment of the care workforce (meso-level) and new data and recommendations for policy makers and stakeholders (macro-level).
