Research Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop an educational support program to empower working Japanese family caregivers who care for community-dwelling people with dementia (PwD). First, we investigated and described the learning theme experienced by the family caregivers of PWD. Second, we examined the learning theme characteristics of those who have not yet experienced long-term care for PwD. The interview data revealed four main categories and 20 subcategories related to learning theme. This result suggested the lack of preparation among family caregivers and the need for appropriate support before the start of long-term care. Next, the questionnaires were mailed to 115 working individuals who had no experience with long-term care. Participants completed questionnaires regarding their learning theme awareness and behavior. We explained the characteristics and needs regarding the learning theme. Thus, we proposed a learning support model for these working generation individuals.
