Abstract
To explore the experiences of family caregivers of older adults with dementia in Korea during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. In-depth interviews were conducted with eight family caregivers of older adults with dementia from September to October 2021. Collected data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological methodology. Four themes were derived: A Rough Journey With Worry, A Desolate Life in a Disconnected World, Frustration Due to Health Deterioration, and Looking Toward the Future Despite Heavy Responsibility. This study is meaningful as it increases our understanding of the experiences and needs of individuals with dementia and their family caregivers, and results can assist in finding ways to help them cope with their difficulties during future pandemic situations.
