Interview Study for Caregivers of Older Adults with Memory Problems
Official Title
CareNet: An Interactive Digital Tool to Assess Informal Caregiving Networks of Older Adults with Dementia
Purpose
We are interested in understanding the dynamics of caregiving when multiple caregivers are involved in caring for an older adult with memory problems. We would like to interview the primary caregiver in a brief one-time interview about their thoughts and experiences in providing care for an older adult with memory problems.
Could this study be right for you?
Participants must be:
- An unpaid caregiver of an older adult with memory loss problems
- The older adult must be 65 years or older
- The older adult must not live in a residential care/assisted living facility
- Able to identify at least one other unpaid caregiver for the older adult with memory loss problems
- Able to communicate in English
