Caregiver/Healthcare worker survey

Are you a health provider and a family caregiver?

Please take 15 min. to complete a survey about the Impacts of being a Double Duty Caregiver in COVID19? https://redcap.link/doubleduty
A Double-duty caregiver is a health or social care provider who also provides care outside of work to a family member, chosen family or friend who is ill, disabled, or frail. Juggling care at work and at home can be very stressful.

Dr. Jasneet Parmar, Professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta, and her research want to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic and double-duty caregiving has impacted Canadian HealthCare Providers’ caregiving and work experiences.

Why is it important?

Sakshi Mehta Dr. Bharati Sethi Dr. Allison Williams completed a small study, "The Essential Work of Double Duty Carers during COVID-19" of 16 double duty caregivers. https://bit.ly/3M3F4mG
They found:
1. DDCs are experiencing an increased care load, working greater hours and have increased fears of safety, resulting in physical and emotional strain.
2. DDCs feel distrust towards their employers, and feel uncomfortable and unsupported at work, despite communicating their DDC needs
We would like a larger sample of Double Duty Caregivers! The survey is open until June 30, 2022
