The purpose of the study was to identify factors that influenced family caregivers' decisions to participate in an intervention research study. In interviews conducted before and after the intervention, caregivers (n=21) described reasons for participation. A focused content analysis was used to examine responses. Themes that emerged included: (a) caregivers recognized a need for help; (b) expectations and motivations toward change; (c) recognition of self worth as caregivers; (d) timeliness of recruitment strategies; (e) support of research staff affected recruitment; and (f) caregivers recognized the benefits of participation. These findings support the importance of many different strategies for effective recruitment of caregivers in future studies.
该研究的目的是确定影响家庭照顾者参与一项干预研究决定的因素。在干预前后进行的访谈中，照顾者（n = 21）描述了参与的原因。采用聚焦内容分析法来审查这些回答。出现的主题包括：（a）照顾者认识到需要帮助；（b）对改变的期望和动机；（c）作为照顾者对自我价值的认识；（d）招募策略的及时性；（e）研究人员的支持影响招募；以及（f）照顾者认识到参与的益处。这些发现支持了在未来研究中采用多种不同策略有效招募照顾者的重要性。
