| Annotation | The need to improve support to minority ethnic carers has been suggested in previous studies. This briefing reports a small study - which was funded by the Sir Halley Stewart Trust (SHST) - of 15 Indian, 10 Pakistani and 1 Bangladeshi carers. The study was designed to test out the effectiveness with Asian carers of newly translated versions (Gujarati and Urdu) of instruments previously used mainly with white English carers: the Carers' Assessment of Difficulties Index (CADI) and the Carers' Assessment of Satisfaction Index (CASI). It also aimed to use these measures to gain an improved understanding of how Asian carers perceived the difficulties and satisfaction of caring. Recommendations arising from the study relate to the use of CADI and CASI, and responses to carers' perceptions of stress and satisfaction, and care assessment and support in the community. (RH). |
