Recognizing the role of caregivers is an essential step in accessing support services. But in practice, this is not always easy: What exactly is meant by the term “caregiver”? Who does it include? What does the concept of support or disability cover? Definitions may vary from one setting to another.
To address this issue, the Quebec Observatory on Caregiving is proposing to co-develop a caregiving terminology in French: a set of shared and structured definitions designed to be used by all those involved with caregivers (professionals, researchers, etc.).
In this first phase of the project, the Observatory invites professionals and researchers to complete a short survey (10 minutes). The purpose of the survey is to identify terms that need to be clarified. Once identified, these terms will serve as the basis for a collaborative effort to develop common definitions.
The deadline for responding to the survey is October 17, 2025.
