Macquarie University Researchers Seeking Assistance from Chinese-speaking Caregivers of People with Dementia
The SOLACE (Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Cultural Experiences) Project
Researchers at Macquarie University are currently exploring the cultural and psychological factors that may cause and maintain social isolation and loneliness among Chinese-speaking caregivers of people with dementia in Australia. We would like to invite Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking caregivers aged 18 years and over, live with the person with dementia, have provided care for at least six months, with feeling of socially isolated and/or lonely to participate in a one-on-one interview and sharing their experiences of social isolation, loneliness and being a caregiver. Your research participation benefits the community by helping us to understand social isolation and loneliness in Chinese-speaking caregivers of people with dementia and inform the development of support and/or treatments for this group.
