Research summary
There is a lack of qualitative information for the adjustment to a diagnosis of dementia, and particularly to the adjustment of dementia at working age. Understanding this process of adjustment is key to developing interventions to facilitate the process.The study aims to develop a coherent understanding of what People with Dementia (PwD) and their carers perceive is the process of adjustment and how this changes over time. In addition, it aims to explore areas of agreement/difference between PwD and their carers and use this information to consider how services may help to facilitate good adjustment.
