The Provision of Social Support in an Online Support Forum for Caregivers of People With Comorbid Dementia and Cancer: Content Analysis Study

The Provision of Social Support in an Online Support Forum for Caregivers of People With Comorbid Dementia and Cancer: Content Analysis Study

Carers of people with CDC report feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, stress, and guilt [10,21], and where care recipients have a reduced insight into their cancer diagnosis and prognosis, carers report feeling as though they are carrying the emotional burden alone, contributing to feelings of loneliness and isolation [21,22].

Open Online Courses for Informal Carers: Systematic Integrative Review

Open Online Courses for Informal Carers: Systematic Integrative Review

Despite their popularity, evidence on the effectiveness and impact of open online courses for informal carers is limited. While several reviews have investigated the application of open online courses in health education [24-26], to date, there have been no reviews that have focused on open online courses for informal carers. Lamura et al [27,28] highlight the potential of novel technological solutions to empower and support carers.

Supporting Carers: Study Protocol of a Meta-Review of Psychosocial Interventions for Carers of People With Cancer

Supporting Carers: Study Protocol of a Meta-Review of Psychosocial Interventions for Carers of People With Cancer

Carers of people with cancer may assume significant responsibilities in not only coordinating and organizing care, but also in providing direct clinical care (eg, administering medications) [4,6]. Becoming a carer is a role that many feel unprepared for, and are overwhelmed by, with implications for health and well-being [7,8]. Carers experience depression, anxiety, and distress, commonly at higher rates than the general population [9-11].

Physical Activity Mobile App (CareFit) for Informal Carers of People With Dementia: Protocol for a Feasibility and Adaptation Study

Physical Activity Mobile App (CareFit) for Informal Carers of People With Dementia: Protocol for a Feasibility and Adaptation Study

The collective impact of this group (often termed “informal carers”) in the United Kingdom is a saving to health and social care services of £162 billion (US $206 billion, 1£=US $1.27) per year [2], a figure comparable to the entire budget for the National Health Service England [3]. However poignant this contribution is, the support does not come without personal costs to carers. Many carers report poor mental and physical health, a finding also supported by systematic review evidence [4,5].

Online Support Groups for Family Caregivers: Scoping Review

Online Support Groups for Family Caregivers: Scoping Review

A recent review of the National Carers Strategy in Ireland by family caregivers themselves showed that they want to see new and advanced possibilities for online support to be included in the next iteration of this policy [24]. Despite this growth, there is no consensus on what factors or characteristics of OSGs contribute to the development of social support [14,25].
