Introduction:Since the European population is ageing, a growing number of elderly will need home care. Consequently, high quality home care for the elderly remains an important challenge. Job satisfaction among care professionals is regarded as an important aspect of the quality of home care.Aim:This paper describes a research protocol to identify elements that have an impact on job satisfaction among care professionals and on quality of care for older people in the home care setting of six European countries.Methods:Data on elements at the macro-level (policy), meso-level (care organisations) and micro-level (clients) are of importance in determining job satisfaction and quality of care. Macro-level indicators will be identified in a previously published literature review. At meso- and micro-level, data will be collected by means of two questionnaires utilsed with both care organisations and care professionals, and by means of interRAI Home Care assessments of clients. The client assessments will be used to calculate quality of care indicators. Subsequently, data will be analysed by means of linear and stepwise multiple regression analyses, correlations and multilevel techniques.Conclusions and Discussion:These results can guide health care policy makers in their decision making process in order to increase the quality of home care in their organisation, in their country or in Europe.

The study aimed to identify the shared issues and challenges being experienced by staff, their clients and informal carers, with the introduction of Consumer Directed Care (CDC). Secondary analysis was undertaken of data that had been initially collected, via semi-structured in-depth interviews, to inform the development of a discrete choice experiment. The raw staff and client/carer data were re-examined using an iterative inductive process. The analysis focused on locating the shared themes and differences between the participant groups based on their CDC experience. The data were also assessed for difficulties or barriers that impacted on the service. Four broad shared themes were derived: culture, role change, operational systems and resourcing, but with a range of diverse and sometimes conflicting sub-themes between the different participant groups. Differences can be linked to participant role in the service chain, with discordance emerging between what has been traditionally offered and what might be possible. This investigation occurred during the period in which services were transitioning from a traditional aged care service model to a new model of service provision requiring considerable industry change. We conclude that existing industry regulation, culture and practice supports an established service model in Australia that arguably makes translation of the objectives of CDC difficult.
