Researchers from the Université de Moncton and University of New Brunswick have received combined funding of $1.6M to expand a project focused on improving safety in long-term care settings. In this project, the researchers are examining the physical demands of caregiving. The study is built around four pillars: epidemiology, ergonomic evaluation training and technological interventions, and knowledge transfer. The results will be shared with frontline workers and implemented in training. The funding is provided by Mitacs, the New Brunswick Continuing Care Safety Association, ResearchNB, and WorkSafeNB.
