AnnotationThis qualitative study explored the impact of caring for a family member with Alzheimer's disease (AD) on the caregiver's occupational performance and the perceived influence of respite care on occupational performance. Five caregivers participated in semi-structured interviews including the client-centred Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The findings emphasize the need for client-centred interventions to promote caregiver occupational performance. (KJ/RH).
