We explored carers experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in England to identify long-term impacts and implications, and to suggest future support for caregivers. Data were collected during COVID-19 rapid response studies (IDEAL-CDI; INCLUDE) from carers participating in a British longitudinal cohort study (IDEAL). Semi-structured interview data were compared to their accounts from previous interviews conducted during the first 18 months of the pandemic. There was indication of some return to pre-pandemic lifestyles but without appropriate support carers risked reaching crisis point. Evidence points to a need for assessment and management of support needs to ensure well-being and sustainable dementia caregiving.
我们探究了英国护理人员在新冠疫情期间的经历，以确定长期影响和启示，并为护理人员提出未来的支持建议。数据收集于新冠疫情快速反应研究（IDEAL-CDI；INCLUDE）期间，来自参与一项英国纵向队列研究（IDEAL）的护理人员。将半结构化访谈数据与其在疫情头18个月期间进行的先前访谈记录进行了比较。有迹象表明，一些人恢复了疫情前的生活方式，但如果没有适当的支持，护理人员有可能陷入危机。有证据表明，需要对支持需求进行评估和管理，以确保福祉和可持续的痴呆症护理。
