Are you the caregiver of a loved one with a personality disorder? You are invited to participate in a 30-minute online survey!
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study is to better understand the experiences of those caring for someone with a personality disorder. We wish to establish how caregivers feel about many different aspects of caregiving. We also wish to evaluate caregivers’ likelihood of using different support sources for help with caregiving.
ELIGIBILITY:
You are eligible for this study if:
• Your loved one has been diagnosed with a personality disorder by a mental health care professional.
• You are actively involved in supporting your loved one’s recovery and wellbeing.
• You have contact with your loved one at least once a week.
• You have been caregiving for at least a year.
We are not looking for responses from:
• Those diagnosed with a personality disorder.
• Those caring for a loved one with an undiagnosed or self-diagnosed personality disorder.
• Those caring for a loved one with a mental illness that is not a personality disorder.
• Those who have contact with their loved one less than once a week.
• Those who have been caregiving for less than a year.
Participating involves completing online questionnaires about yourself and your experiences with caregiving. All responses will be kept confidential and secure.
