We co-created an online course for family and friends of older people who had a hip fracture…It is a short introduction to recovery after hip fracture. It is based on the Fracture REcovery for Seniors at Home or FRESH Start manual, a resource available in multiple languages.
Here is a short summary of the course with information on recovery after hip fracture. Below is information on a research study to evaluate the course.
Research Study
Caregivers’ Online Training for Hip Fracture Recovery
This is a research study conducted by the Community Mobility Lab at the University of British Columbia. The Principal Investigator for the study is Professor Maureen C. Ashe (maureen.ashe@ubc.ca)
We are looking for people to provide insights and feedback on an educational course focused on hip fracture recovery.
We recognize the important role that family and friends play in supporting older adults during their recovery from a hip fracture. In response, we have developed an online course designed to give caregivers some knowledge and skills for this journey.
To make sure the course meets the needs of caregivers, we invite feedback from everyone, regardless of whether they have personal experience with hip fractures.
Your input will be helpful in shaping the content and delivery of the program.
Please use this link to start the survey which has the online link to the course.
