Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Families with children with severe health problems are exposed to particular emotional, social, economic and time burdens. These result in further risks, which often lead to poor living and care situations for the families concerned. This is attributed, among other, to legal regulations that do not do justice to the respective individual life situations and the lack of competent information and counselling services. The overarching objective of the NEST project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a professional support facility for families with children in need of care that operates across sectors and service providers. The network support by so-called Family Health Partners \[Familien-Gesundheits-Partner; FGP\] aims to provide assistance and need-based individual care for all members in families with children in need of care. The medium-term goal of FGP support is to develop the family as a self-help system, i.e. as a self-competent, independently acting primary resource for the care and support of their children in need of care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The project starts facing the problem that families with children with severe health problems are exposed to strong emotional, social, economic and temporal burdens. This results in further health, social and economic risks, which often lead to poor living and care situations for the families concerned. This is attributed, among other things, to legal regulations that do not do justice to the respective individual life situations and the lack of competent advice and contact points. The overarching objective of the NEST project is the evaluation of an innovative support service that addresses the problem. The network support by so-called Family Health Partners \[Familien-Gesundheits-Partner; FGP\] aims to provide needs-based, individual care for all members in families with children in need of care, i.e. the best possible physical, psychological and participation-oriented care for children in need of care, thus relieving the relatives who spend much time for care and assistance of their child/children. The intervention to be evaluated here with regard to its effectiveness and to be analyzed with regard to its impact factors (processes and structures) was summarized in the term of FGP. This personalized function, which is anchored in the network, aims to provide "holistic" support for families with children in need of care. This means that the needs of the families are determined individually and initially independent of sectoral or service provider specific offers (structured assessment). The needs of families not only relate to medical, nursing or therapeutic care, but also to assistance regarding social law, economic and bureaucratic advice as well as social, psychosocial and emotional needs and social participation. Based on the identified need for support, affected families are individually accompanied by FGP over a certain period of time (in the project context: a maximum of 18 months). The medium-term goal of FGP support is to strengthen or maintain the family as a self-help system, i.e. self-efficient, independently acting primary resource for the care and support of their children (preventive).
