Exploring carer resilience in the context of dementia: a meta-synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The aim of this literature review is to integrate the results of qualitative research on the resilience experiences of family carers of people with dementia (PWD).

Design

A qualitative meta-synthesis study was conducted.

Methods

The meta-ethnography method of Noblit and Hare (1988) was used. We searched five electronic bibliographic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science) using the keywords "caregivers", "family caregivers", "spouse caregivers", "qualitative research", "resilience, psychological" and "dementia." The inclusion criteria of the literature search found studies that explored the resilience experience of family carers of PWD, were qualitative, were published in English, and had participants 18 years of age or older.
