The aim is to raise awareness for the issue in hospital and improve the quality of care for victims.
Implementation of the evaluation
queraum. cultural and social research was given the task to carry out an accompanying evaluation of the project. The aim is to evaluate
- the train-the-trainer-seminars,
- the training courses for 224 health professionals,
- whether the cooperation between hospitals and ambulant structures has been improved,
- whether the project partners managed to encourage accompanying structures in hospitals in order to improve the quality of care for victims.
The focus of the project is put on the verification of the effectiveness of the project. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of research are being used (e.g. feedback sheets, quantitative surveys and qualitative surveys). Furthermore, the implementers of the project are supported regularly in reflecting and optimising the process and planning further steps.
