The Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death and Dying (RePaDD) works to make a positive difference to the care of persons in palliative care and at the end of life by examining the issues and challenges experienced by people living with a life-limiting illness, their carers, and the health and care professionals supporting them.
Drawing on extensive experience with research projects investigating the complex needs of carers, RePaDD’s suite of carer-related research projects provide evidence-based information, tools and resources to support carer health and well-being. This evidence brief (568kb pdf) provides information on a number of carer-related RePaDD research projects, and showcases the Centre’s activities in this important area.
Following a grant from SA Health to conduct research, RePadd has developed and updated an evidence-based booklet (6MB pdf) to support the management of grief and bereavement.
Almost a third of deaths in South Australia occur in residential aged care facilities. For families, the move into residential aged care can cause sadness and worry. Most residents will continue to live in the facility until their death.
This booklet supports bereaved people by providing information on what is likely to happen over time from entry into aged care through to the end of life. Shaped by evidence from Australian and international studies of residential aged care, it includes suggestions, practical resources, and supports for families.
Free printed copies are available for aged care services around Australia.
