Abstract:
This qualitative study explores informal caregivers' experiences of supporting persons with dementia's everyday life coping. In the future, there will be fewer health personnel, increased dementia prevalence and limited nursing home availability. Accordingly, close relatives may be compelled to assume greater care responsibilities. Knowledge concerning persons with dementia's everyday coping from the perspective of informal caregivers remains insufficient, despite these people's importance for those with dementia. This investigation analyses informal caregivers' perceived challenges and pleasures in providing care, how home health care affects everyday life coping and the factors that are most important to informal caregivers in supporting care receivers.
