Abstract
Research Proposal: Qualitative Investigation into Internet-based Interventions for Professional Dementia Caregivers' Wellbeing
Highlights
There has been a steady increase in life expectancy due to improvements in medicine, science, and technology (Weatherall et al, 2006)
One of the several factors leading to dementia is ageing (Chen et al, 2009) and the population of aged people continues to increase with a resultant increase in the cost of caring for this ageing population (Papadopoulos, 2020; Wittenberg et al, 2020)
There is significant amount of stress as a result of care burden from dementia caregivers’ caregiving role where gender and educational background are some of the risk factors (Adelman et al, 2014; Cheng, 2017; Yu et al, 2015)
Summary
There has been a steady increase in life expectancy due to improvements in medicine, science, and technology (Weatherall et al, 2006). New report shows that the number of people with dementia is going to double by 2050 (Health Europa, 2020) Caring for this population group becomes challenging to dementia caregivers who suffer physically and psychologically from care burden (Hsu & Willis, 2013). For dementia caregivers to continue accessing the therapy that they need during the COVID-19 crisis, accessing psychological and psychosocial interventions such as Internet-based method is key to helping them remain safe (Cuffaro et al, 2020). In the unprecedented time such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it is necessary to determine effective ways to deliver therapy to professional dementia caregivers who require receiving psychological or psychosocial interventions.
