“…Currently, family members supporting a person with early stages of dementia are also neglected in the literature (Szabo, Whitlatch, Orsulic-Jeras, & Johnson, 2016). This present study also had a limited number of participants from these understudied subgroups.…”

This study aimed to explore the impact of carer stressors (neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, level of independence in activities of daily living, hours of caring per week), demographic factors (carer age, relationship with the person with dementia, dementia type, dementia severity, number of years since diagnosis and cohabitation status) and psychological inflexibility on depression and anxiety in family carers of people with dementia. Eighty-nine family carers with a mean age of 69.13 years old completed self-reported and interview-based questionnaires. Participants were primarily female family members aged 65 years or older looking after a person with severe Alzheimer's disease. Two final regression models (Depression model R 2 =.43; Anxiety model R 2 =.43) demonstrated that psychological inflexibility (β=.52) and the number of hours devoted to caregiving (β=.23) had a significant impact on carer depression, while psychological inflexibility was the only significant independent predictor of carer anxiety (β=.55). The findings demonstrated psychological inflexibility to be a common factor explaining mental health problems in this population even after controlling for other variables known to have an impact. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be beneficial for concomitantly treating depression and anxiety in this population. Considering that fifty-two per cent of participants responded that they devote more than 41 hours to caregiving per week, a non-traditional face to face approach such as online ACT may have potential in future research. Future studies should also explore the suggested models in understudied subgroups of carers (e.g., carers of early-onset dementia, carers of people with early-stage dementia).

“…the Reitman Center at Mount Sinai Hospital), and online support groups for caregivers (refer to Appendix F for all the recruitment documents used in this study). Research has shown that this strategy is particularly successful because of the close relationships that referral organizations and staff have with potential participants (Szabo, Whitlatch, Orsulic-Jeras, & Johnson, 2016). Social media recruitment strategies were also employed, such as posting in Facebook support groups and asking organizations to re-tweet or tweet recruitment notices on Twitter.…”

To date, there is no research that explores the user experiences of family caregivers of persons living with dementia on using mobile applications to support caregiving activities. This is of particular concern given that limited understandings of the user experience in designing technology have often led to end-users experiencing barriers in technology adoption and use. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative descriptive study that used photo-elicitation interviewing was to explore the experiences of family caregivers of persons living with dementia on using mobile applications in their caregiving roles. The findings revealed how mobile applications played an important role in the lives of the caregiver, the care recipient, and both together as a dyad. This research advances our understanding of the impact of mobile application use in caregiving and provides direction for future research, policy, education, practice and application development.

“…Having well-trained recruitment personnel who understood the study and the community was important (Szabo, Whitlatch, Orsulic-Jeras, & Johnson, 2016). Employing well-trained, recruiters who embraced a strengths-based perspective of AA fathers and families was the third component of the DAAD Study recruitment model.…”

Many studies have examined factors influencing African-American (AA) participation in research studies. But none inform the recruitment of AA men into fatherhood intervention research. Our purpose is to describe the recruitment and enrollment framework of the Dedicated African American Dad (DAAD) Study, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to test a fatherhood intervention against a financial literacy comparison condition. AA nonresident (AANR) fathers are fathers who do not reside with their child on a full-time basis. Fathers attended 10 group-based sessions; and father and mother informants completed research interviews at baseline, postintervention, and 12 weeks postintervention. The DAAD Study tripartite model is a system of strategies that address three factors that individually and cooperatively affect recruitment of AANR fathers into research: community partnerships; study infrastructure; and recruitment personnel. The intersection of these three components forms a recruitment nexus that can be used to guide community-based research. The DAAD study serves as an exemplar of recruitment challenges, strategies, and lessons learned.
