At SJCG’s Bethammi Nursing Home and Hogarth Riverview Manor, the Centre for Applied Health Research (CAHR), a research and evaluation department at SJCG, is collaborating with Dr. Shane Sinclair, Founder and Director of the Compassion Research Lab at the University of Calgary to develop a new tool to measure compassionate care in long-term care.

So the question is.... How do we measure compassionate care for LTC residents who can’t tell us themselves?

A Solution in Progress
At SJCG, the CAHR research team, in collaboration with Dr. Shane Sinclair, are developing a care-partner version of the Sinclair Compassion Questionnaire (SCQ), called the SCQ-CP.

A Solution in Progress
At SJCG, the CAHR research team, in collaboration with Dr. Shane Sinclair, are developing a care-partner version of the Sinclair Compassion Questionnaire (SCQ), called the SCQ-CP.
A care-partner for a LTC resident is someone, usually a family member or close friend, who helps support the resident’s care and well-being.

A Solution in Progress
The care-partner version of the Sinclair Compassion Questionnaire (SCQ), the SCQ-CP, will ask care-partners to reflect on the compassionate care they believe the resident receives, essentially responding on behalf of residents who are unable to answer questions about their own care.
