abstract: 'Background: Due to its labour migration history, Belgium is confronted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with an increasingly older population of people of Moroccan background
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who have been diagnosed with dementia. These migrants came to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
country during the labour migration wave of the nineteen-sixties and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
seventies to work in mines and other industries and they are now ageing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet little is known about how dementia care is provided to this older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Objectives: This study explores how dementia care is provided to these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moroccan older people with dementia, and what challenges do caregivers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
face in providing care.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: A qualitative study including 31 informal caregivers of older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moroccan migrants with dementia and professional caregivers in the field
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of dementia care in several Belgian cities was conducted. After an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
initial focus group including 6 informal and professional caregivers,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual in-depth interviews were held with 12 informal caregivers of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moroccan decent and 13 professional caregivers. In order to be included
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the study, informal caregivers had to have a recent experience in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
caring for an older family member with dementia. The professional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
caregivers had to be active in the field of dementia care (General
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Practitioners, nurses, psychologists,...) and have experience with older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migrants with dementia.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Analyses of the collected data reveal that current dementia
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care is a challenging, complex and dynamic search process. This process
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is shaped by (1) multiple factors reflecting the changing care needs of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the care recipient during the course of the dementia, (2) the individual
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(transnational) recourses of the informal caregivers and the (3) current
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(lack of) accessibility of professional dementia care (driven by the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
absence of an accessible migration-, culture- and religion-sensitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
professional care). The limited professional service-use is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predominantly compensated through the search for transnational external
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
helpers. The limited migration, cultural and religious sensitivity of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
current dementia care is often overlooked by professional caregivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: The study provides a better understanding of the complex
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reality of dementia care for older migrants in which these different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aspects intersect. This understanding enable health professionals and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy makers to develop a better suited care for older migrants with
