Abstract

The survey study aimed to investigate the current practices and improvements of the support system provided for caregivers from the perspectives of caregivers of persons with disabilities. A total of 211 participants responded to the developed survey, and the collected data were analyzed by using frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and chi-squared tests. Most caregivers spent more than 10 hours per day caring for persons with disabilities. The participants perceived a high need for support that targeted caregivers, although almost half had no experience using the support. The support areas the caregivers experienced were different based on the types of the support areas. Lastly, a system that offers comprehensive information about available support according to the life cycle of persons with disabilities was considered essential. The study discussed improvement ways for the support system for caregivers based on the findings of the study.
