The Older Persons and Informal Caregivers Survey - Minimum DataSet (TOPICS-MDS) is a public data repository which contains information on the physical and mental health and well-being of older persons and informal caregivers and their care use across the Netherlands. The database was developed at the start of The National Care for the Elderly Programme (‘Nationaal Programma Ouderenzorg’ - NPO) on behalf of the Organisation of Health Research and Development (ZonMw - The Netherlands), in part to ensure uniform collection of outcome measures, thus promoting comparability between studies.Since September 2014, TOPICS-MDS data are also collected within the ZonMw funded ‘Memorabel’ programme, that is specifically aimed at improving the quality of life for people with dementia and the care and support provided to them. In Memorabel round 1 through 4, 11 different research projects have collected TOPICS-MDS data, which has resulted in a pooled database with cross-sectional and (partly) longitudinal data of 1,400 older persons with early onset or advanced dementia and about 950 informal caregivers. Out of these numbers, a number of 919 concerns care receiver - caregiver dyads of whom information on both the care receiver and caregiver is available.More background information on both NPO and Memorabel 1-4 can be found in the overall information on TOPICS-MDS under the tab ‘Data files’ in DANS EASY (doi.org/10.17026/dans-xvh-dbbf).At the moment, 3 different research projects have collected data for TOPICS-MDS Memorabel 5.The 'TOPICS-MDS Memorabel 5 care receiver' dataset, as part of the Memorabel 5 database, contains no informal caregiver data, only care receiver (older person) data. The dataset includes data on age, gender, country of birth, level of education, marital status and living situation of the care receiver, as well as data on physical and emotional health and well-being, quality of life, daily functioning and use of care, such as GP visits, home care, day care/treatment and admittance in a hospital, home for the aged or nursing home.

The transition to parenthood can be challenging, with consequences to mental health and wellbeing for many first-time parents. While parents are often well-supported to care for their children, there are minimal supports available to care for themselves. Therefore, in this focus group study, we explored caregiver and service provider perspectives on what is necessary, feasible, and acceptable from a program designed to support caregivers' self-care and wellbeing from conception to 12 months post birth? We conducted a total of five focus groups with 34 participants.

These files contain replication files for the article "Is all caregiving created equal? A comparison of caregiving to children and adults", American Economic Association Papers and Proceedings 2023. The abstract of the paper is as follows: In this paper, we compare patterns of family care provided to children and to adults, and discuss what these patterns suggest about how individuals make decisions over, and ultimately value, such care. We show that patterns of informal adult care do not resemble patterns of informal childcare along three important dimensions: caregiver age, caregiver education, and the response of caregiving to macroeconomic conditions. The finding that childcare and adult care are economically distinct suggest that policies, like paid family leave, that support caregivers should more carefully consider these differences.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate caregiver burden based on Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and depression in caregivers on the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). METHODS: Literate individuals, 18 years or older, who spoke Spanish as their native language were included. Demographic characteristics: Age, sex, education, relationship to person with dementia, length of time caregiving, other sources of help for caring, impact on the household economy, family support, and perception of impaired health; and Clinical data on care-recipients: type of dementia, time since diagnosis, treatment, and Global Deterioration Scale (GDS); the ZBI and BDI-II. Descriptive and analytical statistics were employed to assess caregiver burden and predictors of higher burden in caregivers. RESULTS: A total of 92 informal caregivers were evaluated. Regarding care-recipients, 75% were 69 years old or over, 75% had at least one year since diagnosis, 73.9% had Alzheimer's disease, 84.8% received treatment, 75% scored 5 or over on the GDS. For caregivers, 75% were 55.5 years old or over, predominantly female (81.5%), married (83.7%), the spouse of care-recipients (60.87%), had at least 10 years of education (75.0%) and one year of caregiving (75%), reduced entertainment time (90.2%) and self-perception of impaired health (83.7%). Median score on the ZBI was 37.5 (minimum value = 3; and maximum value = 74). The coefficient of BDI was 1.38 (p-value

Data set from six research sites that examined the feasibility and outcomes of the most promising home and community-based intervention approaches for enhancing family caregiving for Alzheimers Disease (AD) and related disorders (ADRD). A unique feature is the examination of AD burdens and interventions in three ethnic groups (Caucasians, Hispanics, and African Americans). Caregiver/care recipient dyads are entered into the study using standardized eligibility criteria. The dyads are randomized at each intervention site using site-specific procedures. Standardized assessment batteries are administered at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 months. The five general types of REACH interventions are: Individual Information and Support strategies that increase caregivers' understanding of dementia and their particular caregiving situation; Group Support and Family Systems efforts that provide caregivers with multiple forms of social support; Psychoeducational and Skill-Based Training approaches that teach caregivers coping and behavioral management strategies; Home-Based Environmental interventions that modify the home environment's effect on the care recipient and support the caregiver; and Enhanced Technology Systems such as home-centered computer/telephone networks that are designed to reduce caregiver distress and isolation. REACH II was funded in 2001 to test a single multi-component intervention among family caregivers of persons with ADRD, building upon the findings of REACH. Recruitment for REACH II was completed in January 2004 with 642 participants entering the study across 5 participating sites.

This dissertation was primarily motivated by the twin phenomena of falling formal long-term care service (LTCS) demand and unrelenting deleterious effects on informal caregivers’ subjective well-being across urban societies. These phenomena run counter to the needs of ageing populations, that presents challenges of a rise in chronic degenerative illnesses and long-term disabilities, and associated crowding at acute treatment facilities. The limited effectiveness of increasing formal LTCS supply to meet these challenges has led to transformation of health care systems in order to influence demand for LTCS. Using three studies, this dissertation investigated the extent to which informal caregivers’ subjective well-being influences the utilization of public long-term health and social care services. Taken together, the results obtained showed that there exist substantial associations between each of caregiver burden, depression and health status and LTCS use. Chapter 2 presented quantitative syntheses of reported research on this topic to-date. Research studies that involved fewer female (than male) informal caregivers reported 86% higher odds of caregivers experiencing higher depression levels associated with LTCS use by patients. I also found that there were unexpectedly few studies that provided quantitative data on this topic despite the many years of research involving informal caregiving in the context of LTCS. Using a longitudinal Singapore sample of stroke survivors and their informal caregivers, Chapter 3 showed that caregiver depression and caregiving burden are concurrent and prospective predictors of LTCS use respectively. After controlling for covariates, I found that caregivers who felt more burdened (found caregiving to be time consuming and difficult) at 3-month post-stroke, and those who were more depressed at 12-month post-stroke tend to have their wards use stroke rehabilitation at 12-month post-stroke. Using the same sample, Chapter 4 showed that caregiver burden, depression and health status are useful indicators of latent caregiver psychosocial distress profiles that differ with regards to LTCS use. After controlling for covariates, I found that non-distressed caregivers at 12-month post-stroke tend to have wards who are stroke rehabilitation service users at the same time point. Theoretically, these results provide partial support for the concept caregiver resilience, and show that explanatory frameworks for LTCS use should include caregiver psychosocial characteristics such as caregiver burden, depression and health status. Practically, these results are evidence of the importance of early and sustained caregiver psychosocial interventions, and provide support for integrated care models that consider the patient-caregiver dyad as the recipient of care.
