Abstract:
Irish society has undergone significant economic and social transformation in the past two decades . The rapid development of the early years sector, supporting unprecedented levels of female employment, is indicative of this transformation. While the use of early years services can be perceived as a functional act, the process is also an emotional one, as a parent’s basic obligation to care is transferred to another. This thesis focuse s on these newly established social and familial behaviours , offering an exploration o f relationships between parents and childcare practitioners, within a changing Irish context. The exploratory approach to research employed an ethnographic methodology, underpinned by a social constructionist epistemology to investigate these under - studie d relationships. The research findings were analysed through the theoretical lens of the ethic of care, as well as drawing on theories and literature from relevant areas. Key research findings reveal ideas and ...

Abstract:
Since 1988 services to meet the collective needs of Family Carers were established, such as Caring in Home Training and Carers Groups. It emerged that 12 Family Carers needed time for themselves and required access to services and support. In 2001, Caring for Carers in partnership with the Mid Western Health Board agreed to establish a Nurse Led Carers Clinic in Co. Clare (on a pilot basis) to meet the needs of Family Carers of older people and older people who were themselves Carers. Around the same time the Midland Health Board followed by other Health Boards appointed Carer Coordinators almost all of whom had a background in Public Health Nursing

Abstract:
In a RCT of family psychoeducation, 47 carers of 34 patients were allocated to one of three groups; Multifamily Group Psychoeducation, Solution Focussed Group Therapy or Treatment as Usual. Carers in both the MFGP intervention and the SFGP arm demonstrated greater knowledge and reduction in burden than those in the TAU arm.

Jamison, Tambu
Abstract:
Due to technological advancement the number of children with intellectual and other forms of disabilities in Ireland and globally are increasing. The number of children with Intellectual Disability (ID) and other disabilities in Ireland being cared for at home are also increasing due to the recent emphases on the caring of people with disabilities in their homes. As these numbers are increasing the numbers of those who care for them in the homes are also increasing. For all parents caring for one‘s child (ren) brings joy and achievement but also has challenges and stress. However parent carers of children with ID have been regarded as a unique group of caregivers as they face unique circumstances and challenges and these affect the Quality of life (QOL) of these parent carers.This studies was therefore done to explore the perceptions of parent carers of children with Intellectual Disability in relation to their Quality of Life. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants and...

Abstract:
International best-practice guidelines for the management of first-episode psychosis have recommended the provision of psychoeducation for multifamily groups. While there is ample evidence of their efficacy in multiepisode psychosis, there is a paucity of evidence supporting this approach specifically for first-episode psychosis. We sought to determine whether a six-week caregiver psychoeducation programme geared specifically at first-episode psychosis improves caregiver knowledge and attitudes.
Caregivers of people with first-episode psychosis completed a 23-item adapted version of the self-report Family Questionnaire (KQ) and a 17-item adapted version of the self-report Drug Attitudes Inventory (DAI) before and after the six-week DETECT Information and Support Course (DISC). Using a Generalised Linear Repeated Measures Model, we analyzed the differences in proportions of correct answers before and after the programme.
Over a 24-month study period, 31 caregivers (13 higher ...

Carers: you matter too.
(1975)
O'Connor, Joyce; Ruddle, Helen; National Council for the Aged
Abstract:
Another important step in taking care of yourself is to set aside, during each day, some time which is reserved solely for doing things for yourself. We all need periods of relaxation and renewal in our lives which are not always easy to make time for. As a caregiver, the notion of taking time for your- self may seem unrealistic. If you are committed to looking after yourself, then you will find some time in, the day, even if it is only ten minutes - which you can devote to something that gives you real satisfaction.

Caring for the elderly at home.

Caring for the elderly at home.
(1994)
O'Connor, Joyce; Murphy, Eileen; National Council for the Elderly
Abstract:
There is a group of people whose existence until recently has barely been acknowledged by policy-makers and planners. However, in view of the increasing numbers of elderly people, particularly those surviving to a greater old age, and, because of government commitment to the expansion of community care policies, the carers of the elderly living at home can no longer be ignored. There have always been carers, but their numbers are increasing as the numbers of elderly people requiring care increase. For example, in Britain there are now more women caring for elderly or disabled relatives than those caring for children under 16 - scarcely credible, but true. The trend in Ireland is moving in this direction too, as families are getting smaller and the number of elderly people in the population increases.

Abstract:
This study, Caring for the Elderly, Part I: A Study of Carers at Home and in the Community is Part One of a research programme on family carersof elderly persons in the Republic of.Ireland which was initiated by the National Council for the Aged in 1985. While the role of the family in providing care for elderly. persons has been frequently referred to by academics and policy-makers,.this is the first time that an attempt has been made to quantify the nature and extent of family care of elderly persons within an Irish context. This is a baseline study, descriptive in nature, which provides a profile of carers in the community and a database for further exploration of the.caring process. Part Two of the study, The Caring Process: A Study of Carers in the Home, which provides an in-depth picture of all aspects of caring for elderly persons within households will be published by the Council later, in 1988. The Council will make detailed comments and recommendations on the caring issue ...

Abstract:
This study, The Caring Process: A Study of Carers in the Home is Part 2 of a research programme, (Caring for the Elderly), on family carers of elderly people in the Republic of Ireland which was initiated by the National CounciHor the Aged in 1985. Part I of the programme, A Study of Carers at Home and in the Community, was published in June 1988. It provided a profile of. carers and the database for this study of the process of caring for elderly people within households. It found that there are 66,000 elderly people receiving a significant amount of care at home from a relative, which is more than three and,a half times the number of elderly people in institutional care. It identified the nature and extent of the care required of families and relatives of those elderly people who continue to live at home, in their own, communities, rather than in an institutional environment. This second volume of the study examines the caring process and focuses primarily on the family carers of ...

Abstract:
A qualitative exploratory study investigated the experiences and needs of family carers of persons with enduring mental illness in Ireland. The current mixed-methods secondary study used content analysis and statistical procedures to identify and explore the coping strategies emerging from the original interviews. The majority of family carers reported use of active behavioural coping strategies, sometimes combined with active cognitive or avoidance strategies. The percentage of cares reporting use of active cognitive strategies was the lowest among those whose ill relative lived in their home, and the highest among those whose relative lived independently. Participants with identified active cognitive strategies often reported that their relative was employed or in training. Participants who reported use of avoidance strategies were significantly younger than participants who did not report use of such strategies. The lowest percentage of avoidance strategies was among participants...

Creating excellence in dementia care: A research review for Ireland's national dementia strategy

Abstract:
Dementia is a progressive condition that largely affects older people, impacting on their memory, language, ability to communicate, mood and personality. The course of the illness may be gradual and sometimes subtle, as is classically the case in Alzheimer’s disease. While dementia is a medical condition, recent insights from the psychosocial, sociopolitical and public health perspectives have focused attention on the human, social and economic implications of the disease. The ageing of the population across Europe and beyond means that the number of people with dementia will grow in future decades with consequent implications for care provision, care burden and public expenditure. It is no wonder, therefore, that many countries are already preparing for the projected rise in the number of people with dementia by putting in place dedicated action plans and/or dementia strategies.
