Sister projects
We have established a Project Group comprising similar ongoing projects from other EU-funded initiatives. This collaboration allows us to maximize the impact of our dissemination efforts by leveraging shared characteristics among projects, such as results, research areas, and target audiences. This synergy forms the foundation for a cohesive PG.
This analysis has led to the creation of the following PGs with the sister project:
Lead by Linnaeus University (Sweden), the overall goal of the WELL CARE project is to strengthen the supports available to LTC workers and informal carers for improving their resilience and mental wellbeing. Our project consortium will do this by contributing to the identification, improvement/adaptation and implementation on a wide scale of innovative solutions for addressing care partnerships. The project will investigate what are the good practices that directly improve LTC workers and informal carers’ mental health, as well as those which prevent or mitigate the occupational risks (e.g. heavy workload, stressful working conditions, risk of exposure to infectious agents, precariousness, ethical stress) and non-occupational risks (based on factors such as gender, age, migration background, socio-economic status, and the quality of the care partnership) affecting their mental health. WELL CARE will select, model and promote such innovative solutions (e.g. prototypes). Our fieldwork with good practices and solution prototypes will be focused on 5 EU countries, i.e. Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Sweden. These countries were selected to capture contrasting features of (formal and informal) LTC systems in Europe and to guarantee the geographical coverage and relevance of our project.
