BACKGROUND
Enabling accurate, accessible public health messaging is a critical role of public health officials during a pandemic, but family caregivers of people living with dementia (PLWD) have rarely been specifically addressed in public health messaging.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to examine how family caregivers for people living with dementia access and evaluate public health messaging in Alberta.
METHOD
An online survey was conducted with family caregivers for PLWD (n = 217).
RESULTS
Most respondents rated public health messaging as good or excellent (63.9%), but specific information about how to access caregiving information (69.5%) and what to expect in the future (49.1%) was rated as less than good. Family caregivers also identified how to care for a PLWD during the pandemic (57.5%) as a key information need. Healthcare providers/workers were the least frequently used source of public health messaging. Almost all family caregivers (94.4%) rated their own COVID-19 knowledge as good or excellent.
DISCUSSION
Tailored, context-driven public health messaging for family caregivers of PLWD is critically needed.
背景
在大流行期间，能够提供准确、可及的公共卫生信息是公共卫生官员的关键角色，但痴呆症患者（PLWD）的家庭照顾者在公共卫生信息中很少被专门提及。
目的
本研究旨在探讨 PLWD 的家庭照顾者如何获取和评估艾伯塔省的公共卫生信息。
方法
对 217 名 PLWD 的家庭照顾者进行了在线调查。
结果
大多数受访者认为公共卫生信息质量良好或优秀（63.9%），但有关如何获取护理信息（69.5%）和未来预期（49.1%）的具体信息评分低于良好。家庭照顾者还确定了在大流行期间如何照顾 PLWD（57.5%）作为关键信息需求。医疗保健提供者/工作人员是最不常使用的公共卫生信息来源。几乎所有的家庭照顾者（94.4%）都认为自己的 COVID-19 知识良好或优秀。
讨论
迫切需要为 PLWD 的家庭照顾者提供量身定制、具有背景针对性的公共卫生信息。
