Researchers at the University of Canberra are looking to explore the connection between patient-caregiving relationships, chronic/complex illnesses and caregiver wellbeing. They are seeking adults who provide informal care for another adult with a chronic or complex health condition, including motor neurone disease. The study involves participants completing an online survey, which should only take 10 minutes of your time. You can access the survey directly at https://canberrahealth.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_26otrv1xNmhhL6d or for more information contact PhD student, Kath Carleton
This project has received approval from the University of Canberra’s Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC 0389).
