Dementia and cognitive impairment in the farming community.
A preliminary investigation of carers' perceptions of risks/barriers to care.
This study is analysing the perceptions on risks/barriers to care held by carers of persons living with dementia that reside in rural Australia. While the researchers are based in Orange, NSW, participants can be from anywhere in the country.
The format is a brief 30 minute one-on-one interview, held over the phone OR Microsoft Teams. Times will be booked based on convenience and availability of participants. Open ended questions will assess factors such as geography, resources and community. The process will be anonymised, and participants will be deidentified for the purpose of publishing results. If participants wish to receive a copy of the final report at the conclusion of the study, this will be disseminated to them.Ěý
