PROmoting self-management to meet the health needs of family CARERS of people with dementia: The Pro-Carers Study DEBORAH OLIVEIRA, JIM RADBURN, MARTIN ORRELL, LIDIA SOUSA Funder: Nottinghamshire County Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) 2016/17 Research Capability Funding June 2017 0115 7484306

What is the purpose of the study? February 2017 to February 2018 Aims: • To understand family carers’ unmet health needs • What can be done to help carers to look after their own health? • To help Nottinghamshire CCGs to target carers’ main priorities, direct support, and prevent health problems

What is this study about and why it is needed? Family carers of Pw. D are essential for the NHS and the UK population as they help save approximately £ 132 billion of public funds every year. Due to the need to provide intensive care for Pw. D, carers often neglect their own health -> higher morbidity and increased NHS costs(Carers UK, 2015; White, 2013). Significant impact on carers’ quality of life (Qo. L), use of health care services, and ability to continue to provide care for their family members. Funder: Nottinghamshire County Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) 2016/17 Research Capability Funding

How we will achieve these? The study has three steps: 1) Consultation of research and clinical experts using a questionnaire; 2) Three consultation events to ask carers, practitioners, and policy makers, as well as voluntary organisations, about their views and experiences on family carers’ health and self-care. Carers/practitioners will be specifically asked about: • their experiences of day-to-day facilitators and barriers to self-care • their views on the practicalities and feasibility of self-care activities • 14 August, 11 September, 23 October, at Institute of Mental Health

3) Six focus groups : Carers will be asked: • What can be done to improve their unmet needs • What they are willing to do to improve their health • Their opinions on a future self-care intervention Clinicians/practitioners will be asked: • Meeting carers’ needs, • Day-to-day barriers and facilitators • What is practical/feasible?
