Funded Activity Summary

Full Time Workers Caring for Children with Chronic Illness: A National Study. With advances in medical technology more Australian children with chronic illness are surviving. The support needs of full time workers who care for these children are under acknowledged. This three-phased study will identify these support needs from the workers' perspective. In-depth interviews and population survey will provide data. Synthesised data will provide recommendations that health workers, employers and support services can use to develop home, community, employment and information support for these workers. Policy makers and the community can use the findings to address this complex problem of the support needs of full time workers caring for chronically ill children.
