Caregiver experiences with feeding issues in adults with dementia

Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research Centre, Macquarie University

The study is investigating two things. First, the eating and drinking problems that some people living with dementia can have. Second, how their carers cope with these problems. Our longer-term aim is help other carers better cope with these issues by developing carer resources for evaluation in a future study. 

This study has been approved by the Macquarie University Human Research Ethics Committee - approval no. 520241747159319

Participation

We are inviting current and previous carers of adults with dementia to participate in a 30-minute online survey. 

Participation details:

Participants will be asked

  • demographic questions about themselves and the person they care for
  • questions about the body weight of the person they care for
  • questions about the eating and drinking habits of the person they care for
  • how they manage any difficult behaviours.

Participants who complete the survey and provide contact details will receive a $30 GiftPay voucher for participation.
