Zwickau Day of care: Focus on support for relatives!

Uhdestraße 25, 08056 Zwickau, Deutschland - an outcry by those affected! On Friday, November 8th, the Ubineum in Zwickau will be transformed into a center for care and support. From 9.30 a.m., interested parties and relatives can experience everything about the challenges and opportunities in nursing in six exciting lectures. Admission is free and a pre -registration is not necessary - a unique opportunity to find out and network!

The alarming results of a current study show how stressful care is for many people. Over 70 % of the approximately 1,000 main caregivers surveyed suffer from considerable stress. Sleep disorders, exhaustion and isolation are not uncommon. Nursing becomes not only physically, but also emotionally and financially an enormous challenge. The relatives of care are devoted to an average of 49 hours a week, which is far above a regular working week. The monthly additional payments amount to an average of 290 euros - an increase that increases the financial worries of the caregivers.

Important information for all those in need of care!

The AOK CEO Carola Reimann warns: "If cares-mostly women-reduce their working hours or stop their working hours, this leads to the next generation of those to be cared for." Only 46 % of the main care work full -time, while 37 % part -time and 18 % are not at all employed. Many have reduced their working hours or even abandoned their working hours. The study also shows that many of those affected are not sufficiently informed about support measures, which still exacerbates the Situation.

The Zwickau day of care and support not only offers lectures on legal services, but also valuable tips on self -care and to improve your own health data. Under the motto "Together- Networked in Zwickau", specialist information will be presented in an understandable manner, and regional contacts from the nursing and health industry are ready. The event is barrier -free and offers a room for the exchange of experiences among those affected.
