Sponsor's own description
This is a qualitative study that will seek to gain further understanding of the support needs of family carers to people living with symptoms of dementia up to the end of life. Family carers are friends, family members or neighbours who provide informal unpaid care to someone with symptoms of dementia. The experience of providing this care may result in family carers developing unmet needs that impact adversely on their total wellbeing. This research is potentially beneficial because little is known about the specific physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs family carers to people dying with dementia may develop. It is a priority of the UK government and the NHS to better support family carers. The government published guidelines calling on healthcare professionals to assess and address carer needs, but the evidence base for family carers to people with symptoms of dementia is limited. Findings from this study could guide healthcare professionals when they conduct clinical assessments of carer needs. Each participant to this study will be invited to attend a semi-structured interview at a venue of their choice where they will talk about their experiences of providing care. Participants must have provided informal, unpaid care to a friend, neighbour or family member with symptoms of dementia at home, including within the last twelve months of that person's life. This is a retrospective study so only former family carers will be eligible to participate. Participants must also be over the age of eighteen, be able to communicate in English and have capacity to give informed consent. This research study is being funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRC) as part of their Research Capacity in Dementia Care Pilot Programme, which is exploring issues relating to dementia care provision.
