Carers needed for study

The University of Auckland in conjunction with Carers New Zealand is inviting primary carers of people with support needs to take part in a study called C.A.N. (Carers Assessment of Needs). This study is designed to assess whether the support carers are receiving is meeting their needs as a carer (who supports people of any ages); and what if anything would improve this. Taking part in this study is voluntary.

The aim of this study is to assess the areas which will assist carers, reduce the number of people entering residential facilities because of carer stress and to improve the satisfaction of people living at home.

If you would like more information about this study please download the letter of invitation from Dr Diane Jörgensen from the School of Nursing at the University of Auckland and the information sheet.
