Why this survey?
Today, it is clear that the pressure on care professionals, helping professionals and informal caregivers is high. That is why they deserve all our support in order to have and maintain the necessary strength. Only with strength can they provide care. Strength to provide the care that their patients, residents and family members deserve every day. Strength to care for each other among colleagues or peers.
The national survey “POWER TO CARE” provides objective information about the well-being of care professionals, helping professionals and informal caregivers, as well as their need for support. Policymakers and managers can use this information to take targeted actions to improve well-being.
The P²C survey is an initiative of Sciensano and KU Leuven with Zorgnet-Icuro, Steunpunt Geestelijke Gezondheid/Te gek!?, Santhea, Unessa and GIBBIS as their partners.
