dataset
posted on 2021-10-24, 17:39 authored by Alice Spann, Luc de Witte, Mark Hawley, Marieke SpreeuwenbergSemi-structured interviews were conducted between March and July 2019 in Scotland: Carers were eligible if they i) worked at least 20hrs/week; ii) cared at least 5hrs/week; iii) had combined work and care for at least 6 months; and iv) cared for a person with dementia living in a community setting.
The topic guide included issues such as general challenges when combining work and care; any support used or needed; the impact of autonomy at work (regarding breaks, schedule and place) on these challenges; and their experiences, wants and needs regarding technologies (electronic and/or digital) which could offer support.
