A Mobile App (CareFit) Supporting Physical Activity for Informal Carers of People With Dementia: Mixed Methods Feasibility and Adaptation Study

A Mobile App (CareFit) Supporting Physical Activity for Informal Carers of People With Dementia: Mixed Methods Feasibility and Adaptation Study

Targeting earlier provision in the journey of a carer was a common suggestion, ensuring that the intervention becomes part of postdiagnostic support. This could include linking with general practices, health centers, and carer centers.

Adapting a Dutch Web-Based Intervention to Support Family Caregivers of People With Dementia in the UK Context: Accelerated Experience-Based Co-Design

If I were a male carer [...] I might feel slightly alienated [...]. So, the fact that they are not represented is not particularly ideal. Concern about complex wording was a common theme in caregivers’ and staffs’ reactions to Pi B and redesign recommendations. These connect with the TFA dimensions of intervention: Burden, Coherence, Self-Efficacy, and Effectiveness. Some struggled to interpret the step-by-step instructions in Pi B Action Plans.
