SEEKING PARTICIPANTS FOR FOCUS GROUPS
HOLISTIC WELLBEING PROGRAMME FOR CARERS OF A FAMILY MEMBER WITH DEMENTIA
Are you the carer of a family member/loved one with dementia?
Would you like to help shape the future for yourself and other dementia carers?
I am looking to facilitate focus groups to gather insights and feedback from carers of a family member/loved one with dementia in a home setting. The purpose of the focus groups is to better understand the diverse and unique challenges, needs, and preferences of carers, with the ultimate goal of driving the development of a holistic wellbeing programme to support dementia carers through their caregiving journey.
OBJECTIVES:
-
Explore the daily challenges, stresses, emotional toil and practical difficulties faced by carers of a family member/loved one with dementia.
-
Discuss the types of support, self-care techniques and coping mechanisms carers find most valuable and what’s lacking in their current caregiving journey.
-
Identify the specific support and self-care needs of carers at different stages of the caregiving process.
-
Gather feedback on the current framework of the support programme, including educational resources, emotional support and practical assistance.
-
Brainstorm other potential elements for the support programme and gather feedback on their relevance and usefulness.
-
Understand preferences regarding the format, delivery and accessibility of the programme, including technology and/or hard copy manuals, or other.
CONFIDENTIALITY WILL BE STRICTLY MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE:
I aim to engage diverse groups of carers from throughout Aotearoa New Zealand to ensure representation across various demographic factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status to capture a broad range of perspectives.
-
Individuals who are currently caring for a family member/loved one with dementia in their own home.
-
Individuals who have previously cared for a family member/loved one with dementia in their own home.
CONNECT WITH OTHERS:
This will also be an opportunity to connect with fellow carers, share experiences, tips, support and understanding, both during the focus groups and in a private Facebook group.
Your insights and experiences are crucial to this programme. By prioritising our voices and experiences, we can create more effective and compassionate interventions to assist ourselves and other carers in the caregiving journey and beyond.
