Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
An increasing number of studies are alerting on HCPs' situation, regarding their physical and mental health (e.g. emotional exhaustion, professional well-being) on the one hand, and the functioning of the healthcare system (e.g. absenteeism, turnover, career change) on the other hand.
Besides healthcare professionals, ICs, defined as individuals providing non-professional care on a regular basis to people in need of care, play an important role in fulfilling the daily needs of the most vulnerable individuals. While doing the latter, caring for others has shown to have negative impact on the ICs' life, in terms of health-related implications, psychological burden, quality of life, etc. Despite being increasingly recognized as having a key role in the provision of care, they have only been limitedly considered in studies on healthcare professionals.
In that context, the investigators develop SCOHPICA project, the Swiss cohort of healthcare professionals and informal caregivers, which is an open prospective national cohort using a concurrent embedded mixed method design. This project targets all types of HCPs and ICs, and will investigate determinants of intent to stay and well-being according to participants' trajectories.
As the ICs' study launch is planned in 2024, in depth details of this part of the project will be added to the registration once this part of the study will be definitely planned.
