dcterms.abstract | Objective: Carers for people with dementia commonly experience difficulty assisting the care-recipients with their daily activities and may adopt specific strategies to decrease the difficulties experienced. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore and understand the strategies used by carers to assist with daily activities for persons living with dementia. | - |
dcterms.abstract | Methods: Individual semi-structured interviews via face-to-face or telephone mode were conducted with 62 carers of persons living with dementia in Australia. Carers were asked about the strategies they have used previously, or are currently using, to assist with daily activity completion. Data were analysed via constant comparison and thematic analysis. | - |
dcterms.abstract | Results: All carers reported the need for strategies to accommodate the varying behaviour and functioning of the care-recipients. Participants reported a total of 207 strategies that fell into four main categories: (i) engage; (ii) adapt; (iii) orientate; and (iv) sense. The most used strategies were reported as those aimed at adapting the activity by using equipment to facilitate completion. | - |
dcterms.abstract | Conclusions: Carers help persons living with dementia complete their daily activities by developing their own strategies based on the care-recipients' needs and personal preferences through a trial-and-error process. Carers can benefit if more advice is provided to them by health/social care professionals regarding what strategies may be helpful. Further studies are needed to develop these strategies into an educational package so that carers can be guided to use these strategies appropriately. | - |
