IntroductionFamily carers provide vital support for people with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) but caregiving can be very physically and mentally demanding.

Abstract:
Central to the Australian national strategic response to HIV/AIDS is the need for training and support for volunteer carers of people with HIV/AIDS. However, the role of primary, informal, home-based carers of people with AIDS (PWA) is not clearly defined and the research about carers undertaken in Australia has not specifically looked at this group. The aim of the study described was to examine the experiences of primary, home-based carers of people with AIDS in order to inform policy and program development.

Abstract:
The benefits of involving carers who support those with a severe mental illness have long been recognised in improving patients’ outcomes and reducing the cost of care. Despite various mental health standards requiring services to offer support to carers and involve them in patients’ care and treatment, not much guidance is offered on how this support and involvement can be implemented, especially in forensic inpatient services, where carers are reported to experience elevated stress levels compared to non-forensic carers.

Informal carers provide an important role in supporting people with cancer. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples experience higher cancer mortality than other Australians.

<p>The general aim of this dissertation is to describe and analyse patterns of informal care and support for carers in Sweden. One specific aim is to study patterns of informal care from a broad population perspective in terms of types of care and types of carer. A typology of four different care categories based on what carers do revealed that women were much more likely than men to be involved at the ‘heavy end’ of caring, i.e. providing personal care in combination with a variety of other caring tasks. Men were more likely than women to provide some kind of practical help (Study I).</p><p>A

Abstract:
The majority of people with dementia are cared by family members. Family caregivers of PwD are vulnerable to high levels of burden, depression and loneliness. Social support, as a coping resource, can play an important role in the stress process. However, levels of social support can be lower than needed, which may lead to the experience of loneliness. This study aims to examine the effects of social support on caregivers' psychological well-being and whether social support interacts with burden or mediates in the burden — psychological outcome relationship, both cross-sectionally and longitud

The lived experiences of Australian Young Adult Carers (YACs) are underresearched, particularly in relation to the educational implications of caregiving on their university experiences. As a consequence of this gap, student-YACs remain largely unrecognised and unsupported in both carer recognition and student equity support policy and practice. In response to these problems—together with my own experiences as a YAC while attending university—the aim of this research was to explore the educational experiences and support needs of university student-YACs, from their perspective as well as those

Abstract:
The summary research report describes and summarizes the goals, course and results of the TAČR–VISNEP project. The aim of the experimental development project was to create an information system (IS) for informal carers (ICs) for a person after stroke using modern information technologies in the technical and non-technical spheres of research. IS will allow users to obtain relevant, timely and interconnected information on support networks to prevent their possible social isolation and exclusion, physical and psychological exhaustion, health disorders and other risk factors in their difficult

Abstract:
This report describes the diversity of experiences of people with life-limiting illnesses who were supported by hospices in the West Midlands during the pandemic. It is one of four cohort reports – the others focus on carers, frontline hospice staff, and senior managers respectively – that form the evidence base for a Policy Report into the impact of Covid-19 on hospices. In these reports we address the nine key themes that were identified as potentially important in our previous collaborative knowledge synthesis (MacArtney et al., 2021) and seek to address some of the policy gaps we identifie

Abstract:
Incontinence is the medical term used to describe the involuntary loss of urine or faeces. Women, men, girls, boys and people of all genders, at any age, can experience incontinence. A person with incontinence can experience leakage occasionally, regularly or constantly; and leakage can happen at any time, day or night. A person may also experience leakage of urinary or faecal matter due to not being able to get to the toilet in time or not wanting to use the toilet facilities available. This is known as social, or functional, incontinence. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) unde
