The National Centre for Healthy Ageing Residential Aged Care Research Network (RACReN), wants to hear what you think are the most important areas to research in residential aged care.
In late 2022, 81 people representing a range of stakeholders completed Round 1 of the survey (see results summary here), ranking the importance of 93 different research topics for residential aged care. They agreed that 32 of these research topics were very or extremely important to research in residential aged care.
This survey asks you to vote on these 32 research topics to identify a short list of the 10 most critical items for residential aged care research.
This information will be shared with aged care researchers to make sure they are researching what matters most to everyone involved in residential aged care.
We want to hear from you if you:
- have a family member or friend that is living, or has lived, in a residential aged care home;
- live in a residential aged care home; OR
- work in or with a residential aged care home – this includes PCAs, nurses, cleaners, cooks, and visiting allied health and primary care clinicians.
Participation involves completing 1-2 short surveys (10-20 minutes) over the next year.
Participants go into the draw to win one of 10 x $100 eGift Cards for Surveys 2 and 3.
