Abstract

This study represents the experiences of informal carers of people with dementia concerning periods of transition into formal care. Retrospective interviews with 18 carers identified the key narratives: ‘This is why I had to’, ‘They said I need to’ and ‘It was a last resort’. These indicate a sense of carers’ responsibility in decision making and the undesirable assumptions around the move. However, the narrative of ‘I made the right decision’ was common after transition. Findings represent the nuanced carer experience around transitions, providing insight into the experiences of families living with dementia and informing future care planning.

照顾者对失智症人士过渡到居家长者护理的经验:叙述分析

这项研究代表了痴呆症患者的非正式护理人员在过渡到正式护理期间的经历。对18名护理人员的回顾性采访确定了关键的叙述：“这就是我必须的原因”、“他们说我需要”和“这是最后的手段”。这些都表明了护理人员在决策中的责任感，以及围绕搬迁的不可取的假设。然而，“我做出了正确的决定”的说法在过渡后很常见。研究结果代表了护理人员在过渡过程中的细微体验，为痴呆症患者家庭的经历提供了见解，并为未来的护理规划提供了信息。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
