Swiss COhort of Healthcare Professionals and Informal CAregivers (SCOHPICA) is a project in partnership with Unisant\u00e9, La Source Institute and School of nursing.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the Swiss population is ageing and chronic illnesses are increasing, the healthcare system needs to undergo some reorganizations. A large amount of evidence shows that healthcare professionals\u2019 and informal caregivers\u2019 well-being and quality of life is at risk, which impacts on their activities and professional trajectories. Most notably, these issues increase the absenteeism and turnover in healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, Swiss healthcare system has been alleviating the shortage of healthcare professionals by employing some workers from other countries. L\u2019Observatoire Suisse de La Sant\u00e9 (OBSAN) expects the need of healthcare workers will be only at 72% covered in 2029. The improvement of healthcare professionals\u2019 work condition is thus urgent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although healthcare professionals and informal caregivers are key actors of healthcare systems, there are no national longitudinal data about healthcare professionals nor informal caregivers to this day. Constituting a long-term national cohort of both professionals and informal caregivers would allow a better understanding of the issues they encounter in order to improve their work conditions and their everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCOHPICA aims to better understand healthcare professionals\u2019 and informal caregivers\u2019 trajectories and experiences and to identify optimal conditions for high-quality professional practice and informal caregivers\u2019 support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is constituted of two cohorts of important stakeholders of the healthcare system in the future: healthcare professionals and informal caregivers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
