Graduate Student Research Projects

In order to help further the field of caregiver research and advocacy, we also provide a page for graduate students to post research questions or links to surveys for research projects on caregiving. These postings are free of charge but run for the same length of time and are also limited to a 100-word description.

Caregiving, Coping, and Stress

Posted: 3/25/2013 - I am a graduate student at John F. Kennedy University and after being an informal family caregiver for my mom for 8 years, I decided to focus my final research project/thesis in the area of caregiver health to better understand the relationship between caregiver stress and caregiver burnout. This 10-15 minute survey has questions designed to identify stress related to caregiving and how it affects caregiver health and resilience. As someone who experienced caregiver burnout, helping others to avoid burnout is one of my top priorities and the results of this survey will greatly contribute. Thank you for your time.

The Effects of Caregiving on the Psychological Well-Being of Family Members Caring for Alzheimer's Patients

Posted: 2/20/2013 - Dear Family Caregiver,
I am a Doctoral Dissertation student at Argosy University, Southern California. I am inviting you to take a Psychological Well-Being survey. This study is confidential. There are no wrong or right answers. The questions deal with how you feel about yourself and your life. The survey will take approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete. The results of this survey will aid further research in identifying the well-being of care-givers who care for Alzheimer?s patients.

Older Workers & the Workplace - Survey

Posted: 2/20/2013 - I am conducting a survey for my dissertation on the experiences of older workers at their jobs and their expectations for their occupational future. The survey should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete; please note that if you don't have the time to finish the survey in one session, you may go back to the survey at another time. By taking the time to answer these survey questions, you are making a significant contribution to scientific knowledge of older workers, knowledge which could have far-reaching impacts on the everyday lives of older workers through informing workplace policy changes to expand the quality of their job experiences.

Thank you very much in advance for your time and effort.
