Research Abstract |
Care for dementia patients in Australia is adjusted individually, which improves the QOL (quality of life) of those patients and promotes their autonomy. Australian dementia care features care giving conducted by teams, and the use of machines/equipment and IT. As a result, the physical burden on care givers is reduced, helping to prevent occupational injuries. It has been shown that dementia care that allows both care givers and receivers to feel safe is advantageous to relieve care work, since such service provides both physical and mental satisfaction to care givers, assisting in the maintenance of their good health.
