Résumé
Caregivers play an essential role in maintaining home care for elderly people with dementia. However, it is difficult for caregivers to target their own needs as well as those of the person with neurocognitive disorders they support on a daily basis. Identifying the needed resources can also be difficult. In order to better assist caregivers in identifying resources needed to support their role, this study aims to understand the factors that influence their help-seeking process. This qualitative and descriptive study focuses on the point of view of the main people affected by this problem: caregivers. Eleven caregivers of elderly people with dementia living at home were recruited by convenience sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed according to Mast's typology. The factors influencing caregivers help-seeking process were categorized into five themes: 1) service-related (e.g. wait times); 2) personal (e.g. feeling intrusive); 3) experiential (e.g. positive use of a service); 4) relational (e.g. rejection of the elder), and 5) informational (e.g. directed to the right service). Caregivers face many challenges in their help-seeking process and want to be more proactively accompanied in a way adapted to their changing needs.
