Description

Engaging older people and families in communicating about medicines at home. This project aims to investigate how engagement occurs in communication about medicines between older people living at home, family members and care providers. By developing and testing creative strategies, this project expects to generate new knowledge about interpersonal communication within a dynamic context of sociocultural, environmental and interpersonal challenges and opportunities. Expected outcomes of this project include enhanced capacity to enable participation in bridging communication gaps. This should provide significant benefits, in terms of increased understandings about how and under what circumstances, communication and decision making about medicines occur with older people and families in diverse contextual situations.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4203 - Health Services and Systems. Lead: Prof Elizabeth Manias
