Abstract

This policy paper presents workforce development recommendations for research, clinical care and public stakeholders as they plan future research activities to strengthen the workforce to support the healthcare and social needs of persons living with dementia and their families and caregivers. To create these recommendations, the 2020 National Research Summit on Care, Services and Supports for Persons with Dementia and Their Caregivers (2020 Summit) convened a Workforce Development Stakeholder Workgroup. The Stakeholder Workgroup consisted of an interprofessional team of health professionals from academia, professional organizations, and the federal government with expertise in dementia workforce development. The resulting ten workforce development recommendations represent four themes: (1) Accountability by addressing progress towards implementing the 2017 Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and their Caregivers (2017 Summit) workforce recommendations; (2) Improving recruitment, retention, and job quality for direct care workers; (3) Creating a tech-savvy and culturally competent workforce; and (4) Developing educational core competencies, domains and milestones. These recommendations will positively impact the ability of persons living with dementia and their caregivers to access person- and family-centred dementia care that promotes independence and quality of life among those navigating their dementia journey.

解决痴呆症劳动力发展需求的研究建议

本政策文件为研究、临床护理和公共利益相关者提供了劳动力发展建议，他们计划未来的研究活动，以加强劳动力，支持痴呆症患者及其家人和护理人员的医疗保健和社会需求。为了提出这些建议，2020年全国痴呆症患者及其护理人员护理、服务和支持研究峰会（2020年峰会）召集了一个劳动力发展利益相关者工作组。利益相关者工作组由来自学术界、专业组织和联邦政府的卫生专业人员组成，他们在痴呆症劳动力发展方面具有专业知识。由此产生的十项劳动力发展建议代表了四个主题：（1）通过解决2017年痴呆症患者及其护理人员护理、服务和支持研究峰会（2017年峰会）劳动力建议的实施进展，实现问责制；（2）改善直接护理人员的招聘、留用和工作质量；（3）创造一支精通技术和文化能力强的员工队伍；（4）发展教育核心能力、领域和里程碑。这些建议将对痴呆症患者及其护理人员获得以个人和家庭为中心的痴呆症护理的能力产生积极影响，从而促进痴呆症患者的独立性和生活质量。
