Family carers are fundamental to supporting people with dementia to remain at home; however psychological distress can occur as a result of their caring role. Research into the effectiveness of interventions for caregivers of people diagnosed with Young-Onset Dementia (YOD), the experience of those using such interventions, and the mediating processes, are limited.
The study highlighted several interrelated themes involving creating connections to carers with similar experiences, social learning, and supportive learning through group structure and facilitation. Many of the processes are found within existing dementia caregiver intervention research. Implications for service provision and future research are outlined.

The main body of literature investigating experiences of caring for a spouse with dementia has focussed on the experiences of receiving a diagnosis and on caring in the early stages of the disorder. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of caring for a spouse at home in rural areas with moderate to severe dementia.
The results revealed four themes; changes in the spousal relationship, the demands of caring, managing the demands and unmet needs. Participants’ accounts illustrated the complexity of caring for someone with moderate to severe dementia and the psychological and practical resources that are required in order to be able to continue to do so.
