“We’re certainly not in our comfort zone”: a qualitative study of GPs’ dementia-care educational needs
(2017)
Foley, Tony; Boyle, Siobhán; Jennings, Aisling A.; Smithson, W. Henry
Abstract:
Background: Rising dementia prevalence rates rise combined with the policy objective of enabling people with dementia to remain living at home, means that there will be a growing demand for dementia care in the community setting. However, GPs are challenged by dementia care and have identified it as an area in which further training is needed. Previous studies of GPs dementia care educational needs have explored the views of GPs alone, without taking the perspectives of people with dementia and family carers into account. The aim of the study was to explore GPs’ dementia care educational needs, as viewed from multiple perspectives, in order to inform the design and delivery of an educational programme for GPs. Methods: A qualitative study of GPs, people with dementia and family carers in a community setting was undertaken. Face-to-face interviews were performed with GPs, people with dementia and with family carers. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and thematicall...

A survey of needs of families with disabled children
(2014)
Carr, Alan; O'Reilly, Mark
Abstract:
A cluster analysis of responses of 78 carers of people with learning disabilities to service needs scales identified high- and low-need groups, each with distinct profiles. In comparison with the low-need group, the high-need group reported greater needs for familial social support; help explaining their child’s handicap to others; assistance with leisure activities for their handicapped member; extrafamilial social support; financial assistance; information on services for families with a handicapped member; information on child development and management; and respite care and counselling. Those in the high-need group perceived the handicapped person for whom they cared to have more behavioural problems and safety skills deficits. The carers in the high-need group also had lower levels of perceived social support and higher levels of family stress. Although high- and low-need groups displayed these disparate psychosocial profiles, they were demographically similar and did not diffe...

A systematic review & meta-analysis of randomised controlled cognitive-based interventions for dementia – restorative, compensatory, & mixed approaches
(2016)
Molloy, Mary Majella
Abstract:
Background: Cognitive impairments are a central feature of dementia and have a significant impact on those with the disease and their caregivers. Cognitive-based interventions for dementia, (e.g., stimulation, training, and rehabilitation), are often used to ameliorate the symptoms of cognitive impairments. These interventions are based on processes that restore or compensate for the impairments found in dementia. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the existing research and establish the most effective approach for improving cognitive and functional outcomes for persons with dementia (PwD). Objectives: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of restorative and compensatory interventions to improve cognitive and functional outcomes for PwD. Search Methods: PsycInfo, PubMed, SCOPUS, and CENTRAL were searched between 01.01.2000 and 31.12.2015 in January 2016. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of restorative, compensatory, and mixed interventions, publish...

An evaluation of St. Michael’s House contract family short break scheme
(2011)
Ryan, Mary
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the experience of St. Michael’s House Contract Family Short Break Scheme for service users and their families. It uses two major research strategies to evaluate the scheme; (1) documentary research in the form of a literature review; and (2) qualitative research in the form of interviews with families of service users. The literature provides a platform for the study by exploring the care needs of children with an intellectual disability and how short breaks can support families in providing this care. The findings of this study show service users and their families are pleased with the scheme and satisfied with the quality of care provided. However, the study recommends promotion of the scheme to increase awareness of the service so that more families can utilise this important family support and expansion the service in order to create capacity for more breaks to be made available to current service users and their families.

An exploration of care-burden experienced by older caregivers of adults with intellectual disabilities, in Ireland.
(2019)
Egan, Caroline; Dalton, Caroline
Abstract:
Background: People with intellectual disabilities are experiencing increased longevity, and in parallel, their family caregivers are also ageing. The literature identifies that these caregivers are at risk of burden. The aim of this study was to measure the level of caregiver burden among older carers of adults with intellectual disabilities in an Irish sample and to analyse the effect of socio‐demographic factors upon experiences of caregiver burden. Materials and Methods: Thirty caregivers completed a survey questionnaire. Data were collected based upon participants’ self‐reports of burden using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and a socio‐demographic questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS version 24. Results: Over 57% of carers indicated a mild‐to‐moderate level of burden. Analysis indicated that younger caregivers experience significantly higher levels of burden, when compared to older caregivers. Conclusions: This study contributes to our understanding of burden among an ...

Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of health-related quality-of-life questionnaires of children with food allergy and their parents. Methods: The translation and cultural adaptation processes were previously performed, according to the method proposed by the World Health Organization. After this stage, the questionnaires were applied to 201 parents of children under 6 years of age with food allergy. The assessment of the psychometric properties included: evaluation of the internal consistency by Cronbach's alpha coefficient; of the reproducibility by the intraclass correlation coefficient between test and retest; and of the construct, using Spearman's correlation coefficient, comparing the obtained scores with those of generic questionnaires that evaluate health-related quality of life. Results: The means of the obtained scores were 2.44 and 3.35, for the children and their parents, respectively. Cronbach's alpha coefficients w...

Caregiver readiness for hospital discharge of an older adult
(2020)
Galvin, Eileen
Abstract:
Aim: To explore caregiver readiness for the hospital discharge of an older adult. Background: Older adults rely on their caregivers during hospital discharge. However, caregivers are not routinely included in discharge preparation. Caregivers’ experiences of hospital discharge have been studied retrospectively between one week and three months. However, no study used the attributes of readiness to guide the research and none of the caregivers were interviewed within twenty-four hours of hospital discharge when experiences are foremost in their minds. Method: The study was qualitative descriptive. Using the attributes of readiness for hospital discharge to develop an interview guide, nine semi-structured interviews with caregivers took place within 24 hours of hospital discharge during the summer of 2017. Data were analysed using content analysis. Findings: The findings that emerged from the data are presented under the four attributes of readiness for hospital discharge: Caregiver...

Child problem behaviours are associated with obesity in parents caring for children with developmental disabilities
(2015)
Gallagher, Stephen; Hannigan, Ailish
Abstract:
Epidemiological evidence suggests that obesity and depression are highly co-morbid. In a national cohort study, we examined whether parents caring for children with disabilities were more likely to be classified as obese compared to parents of children without disabilities and if obesity was associated with depressive symptoms or child behaviour characteristics. Using data from the Growing Up in Ireland National Longitudinal Study of Children (2006 to date), 627 parents of children with developmental disabilities were compared with 7941 parents of typically developing children on objectively measured levels of obesity (body mass index >= 30 kg/m(2)), depression, health behaviours, chronic health conditions, socio-demographic and child behavioural characteristics. Parents of children with disabilities were more likely to be classified as obese compared to control parents (24.5% vs. 19.6%, p = 0.005, Cramer's V

Abstract:
Background: A community-based occupational therapy intervention for people with mild to moderate dementia and their family carers (Community Occupational Therapy in Dementia (COTiD)) was found clinically and cost effective in the Netherlands but not in Germany. This highlights the need to adapt and implement complex interventions to specific national contexts. The current trial aims to evaluate the United Kingdom-adapted occupational therapy intervention for people with mild to moderate dementia and their family carers living in the community (COTiD-UK) compared with treatment as usual. Methods/Design: This study is a multi-centre, parallel-group, pragmatic randomised trial with internal pilot. We aim to allocate 480 pairs, with each pair comprising a person with mild to moderate dementia and a family carer, who provides at least 4 hours of practical support per week, at random between COTiD-UK and treatment as usual. We shall assess participants at baseline, 12 and 26 weeks, and by...

Guisado-Fernández, Estefanía; Caulfield, Brian; Silva, Paula Alexandra; Mackey, Laura; Blake, Catherine; et al.
Abstract:
Background: Dementia disease is a chronic condition that leads a person with dementia (PwD) into a state of progressive deterioration and a greater dependence in performing their activities of daily living (ADL). It is believed nowadays that PwDs and their informal caregivers can have a better life when provided with the appropriate services and support. Connected Health (CH) is a new technology-enabled model of chronic care delivery where the stakeholders are connected through a health portal, ensuring continuity and efficient flow of information. CH has demonstrated promising results regarding supporting informal home care and Aging in Place, and it has been increasingly considered by researchers and health care providers as a method for dementia home care management. Objective: This study aims to describe the development and implementation protocol of a CH platform system to support informal caregivers of PwDs at home. Methods: This is a longitudinal observational mixed methods s...

O'Shea, Eamon; Devane, Declan; Murphy, Kathy; Cooney, Adeline; Casey, Dympna; Jordan, Fionnuala; Hunter, Andrew; Murphy, Edel
Abstract:
Background: Current projections indicate that there will be a significant increase in the number of people with dementia in Ireland, from approximately 40,000 at present to 100,000 by 2036. Psychosocial interventions, such as reminiscence, have the potential to improve the quality of life of people with dementia. However, while reminiscence is used widely in dementia care, its impact on the quality of life of people with dementia remains largely undocumented and there is a need for a robust and fair assessment of its overall effectiveness. The DementiA education programme incorporating REminiscence for Staff study will evaluate the effectiveness of a structured reminiscence-based education programme for care staff on the quality of life of residents with dementia in long-stay units. Methods/Design: The study is a two-group, single-blind cluster randomised trial conducted in public and private long-stay residential settings in Ireland. Randomisation to control and intervention is at ...

<p>Head injury has been documented as the leading cause of death and disability for individuals under 35 years.1 Road traffic accidents are the major cause in the under 65 age group, and account for more than 50% of all fatal and severe head injuries. 2 Domestic accidents such as falling down stairs are also significant causes of traumatic brain injuries, particularly among children and older people. Assaults account for up to 20% of head injuries in adults, and approximately 4% in children. Injuries in the latter are frequently associated with child abuse. Occupational and recreational accidents are less common causes of head injury, accounting for as little as 8% and 7%, respectively, of all cases hospitalised with serious head injuries.</p>

Abstract:
In-home technologies can support older adults' activities of daily living, provide physical safety and security, and connect elders to family and friends. They facilitate aging in place while reducing caregiver burden. One of older adults' primary concerns about in-home technologies is their potential to reduce human contact, particularly from cherished caregivers. In this exploratory in-situ study, we provided an ecosystem of networked monitoring technologies to six older adults and their caregivers. We analyzed the amount and content of communication between them. The amount of non-computer-mediated communication did not decrease through the six week study. The content of communication coalesced into four themes: communication about the technologies, communication facilitated by technologies, intrusiveness of technologies, and fun and playfulness with the technologies. Results suggest that in-home technologies, designed with sensitivity to older adults' primary moti...

Abstract:
This paper investigates the impact of own-health,and that of others, on individual labour supply. We estimate a model of hours of caring and hours of work using a large micro dataset of UK households. We find that own ill health has a negative effect on wages for men but not women; being a carer has a negative effect on wages for women but not men; and that unobservables associated with caring are positively correlated with wages for men but not for women. We also find that own ill health has a strong negative effect on the labour supply of both men and women and a negative effect on their supply of caring. We also find that hours caring are responsive to wages for women.

Love labour as a distinct and non-commodifiable form of care labour
(2010)
Lynch, Kathleen
Abstract:
This paper examines the nature of love labouring and explores how it can be distinguished from other forms of care work. It provides a three fold taxonomy for analysing other-centred work, distinguishing between work required to maintain primary care relations (love labour), secondary care relations (general care work) and tertiary care relations (solidarity work). A central theme of the paper is that primary care relations are not sustainable over time without love labour; that the realization of love, as opposed to the declaration of love, requires work. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical and empirical sources, including a study of caring undertaken by the author, the paper argues that there is mutuality, commitment, trust and responsibility at the heart of love labouring that makes it distinct from general care work and solidarity work. It sets out reasons why it is not possible to commodify the feelings, intentions and commitments of love labourers to supply them on a paid b...

Abstract:
Purpose: The study aim was to explore whether there were differing opinions on the current management of relapsed myeloma between patients and health care professionals, a topic which has never been explored previously in the literature.Methods: This qualitative study was undertaken at a regional specialist haematology centre in Ireland. Individual interviews were undertaken with multiple myeloma patients with relapsed disease (n = 8). Three focus groups were also undertaken with haematology nurse specialists, haematology doctors and staff nurses working in a haematology day unit (n = 17). The analysis of interview data was guided by thematic analysis.Results: Two central themes were interpreted from the interview data: 'shared decision making with the expert patient' and 'an unpredictable disease journey'. Patients felt well informed regarding their illness but faced difficult decisions at times. Nurses and doctors stressed the importance of the early introducti...

Needs of informal caregivers across the caregiving course in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a qualitative analysis
(2018)
Pender, Niall; Hardiman, Orla; Galvin, Miriam
Abstract:
Objectives: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), is a debilitating terminal condition. Informal caregivers are key figures in ALS care provision. The physical, psychological and emotional impact of providing care in the home requires appropriate assistance and support. The objective of this analysis is to explore the needs of informal ALS caregivers across the caregiving course. Design: In an open-ended question as part of a semistructured interview, caregivers were asked what would help them in their role. Interviews took place on three occasions at 4-month to 6-month intervals. Demographic, burden and quality of life data were collected, in addition to the open-ended responses. We carried out descriptive statistical analysis and thematic analysis of qualitative data. Setting and participants: Home interviews at baseline (n=81) and on two further occasions (n=56, n=41) with informal caregivers of people with ALS attending the National ALS/M...
