Dear Virtual Hospice community,
My name is Marina Bastawrous and I am a 3rd year PhD student at the University of Toronto. With the permission of the community moderator, I'd like to tell you more about my research and invite you to participate by taking a simple survey. Below are the details. Thank you for the opportuntiy to share this with you!
Are you caring for an elderly parent? Would you like to share your experience to help others in the future?
Our study is looking for adult children who are caring for a parent and are in contact with other caregivers either online or in person.
The goal of the study: To learn about the online and in person peer support relationship between adult children and other caregivers.
Who can participate: Individuals who are: 1) 18 years or older; 2) Living in Canada; 3) Caring for a parent; 4) Helping their parent with any of their usual activities or medications and 5) In contact with other caregivers online or in person.
Your role: To answer an online survey that should take 30-45 minutes to complete. You will be able to stop and resume the survey at any time and do not need to finish it all at once. At the end of the survey, you will be invited to participate in an optional 45-60 minute telephone interview. The goal of the interview is to learn about your experiences and relationship with other caregivers in more detail. The interview is optional and you may choose to only complete the survey.
