Introduction: People in need of care and assistance, as well as their relatives, carers and family doctors, are severely affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. The Bavarian State Ministry of Health and Care has initiated BACOM to improve the living situation of these people in the current situation and to prepare for future pandemics. In addition to the clinical course of the disease, the mental health, resources, needs and interfaces in the daily life and work of different actors are to be documented.
Methods: BACOM is a dynamic registry study that aims to systematically integrate new research questions. We plan to recruit up to 1000 persons in need of care or assistance for the study group of the project. Baseline data collection will take place after a positive PCR test is available (back by March 2020). The study group will be compared firstly with up to 500 people in need of care or assistance without known COVID-19 disease (control group 1) and secondly with up to 500 patients who have also survived COVID-19 disease but are not in need of care (control group 2). Follow-up surveys are planned every 6 months for at least 3 years. In addition, caregivers and relatives will be interviewed about their physical and emotional needs and demands.
Results: We present the status quo of the structured quantitative data collection and give an insight into the first results of the accompanying qualitative sociological study, in which the psychosocial burdens of those in need of care and assistance as well as their relatives and caregivers, and the interface problems of the different levels of actors are highlighted.
Conclusions: Measures and political decisions need more knowledge in order to be able to take into account the needs of people in need of care, relatives, carers and family doctors. In this sense, the BaCoM project aims to produce actionable data.
