Description

The Older Persons and Informal Caregivers Survey Minimum DataSet (TOPICS-MDS) is a public data repository which contains information on the physical and mental health and wellbeing of older persons and informal caregivers across the Netherlands. The database was developed in part to ensure uniform collection of outcomes measures, thus promoting comparability between studies. To date, 53 different research projects have contributed data to this initiative, resulting in a pooled dataset >44,000 older persons and >9,000 informal caregivers. Early 2021, the database will be updated with new data, specifically from older persons with dementia and their informal caregivers. More information can be found at https://topics-mds.eu This form contains the English and Dutch version of TOPICS-MDS 2017 questionnaire for the caregiver for the Baseline and Follow-up measurement. English Instructions for the participant (Dutch version below): Your experiences are valuable. You are caring for your partner, a family member, a friend or a loved one. This list contains questions about what this care means for you as a caregiver. Your answers will be used in research aimed at improving elderly care and informal care. The more information there is about these types of care, the more they can be taken into consideration. For example, when changing the facilities, regulations or legislation for care and wellbeing. Therefore, your experiences are also valuable for other caregivers. Instructions for filling in this questionnaire: Completing this questionnaire will take approximately twenty minutes. If you read ‘your loved one’, then the question refers to the person for whom you are a caregiver. Read each question through completely before answering. Some questions may appear to be ‘repeated’, but please answer all questions. They are intended to view your situation again from a different angle. When you are done, please check that you have not forgotten any questions Nederlandse aanwijzingen: U zorgt voor uw partner, een familielid, een vriend of andere naaste. In deze lijst staan vragen over wat die zorg betekent voor u als mantelzorger. Uw antwoorden worden gebruikt in onderzoek gericht op verbeteringen in de ouderen zorg en mantelzorg. Want hoe meer er bekend is over deze vormen van zorg, hoe beter er rekening mee gehouden kan worden. Bijvoorbeeld bij het veranderen van voorzieningen, regelingen of wetten voor zorgen wel zijn. Uw ervaringen zijn dus waardevol, ook voor andere mantelzorgers. Aanwijzingen bij deze vragenlijst: Het invullen van de vragenlijst kost u ongeveer twintig minuten. Als u leest ‘uw naaste’, dan gaat de vraag over de persoon voor wie u mantelzorger bent. Lees elke vraag eerst helemaal door voordat u een antwoord geeft. Sommige vragen lijken ‘dubbel’, maar we verzoeken u ze toch in te vullen. Ze zijn bedoeld om uw situatie nog eens van een andere kant te bekijken. Bent u klaar? Kijk dan of u geen vragen vergeten bent.

The following questions are about the amount of time that you spend caring for your loved one. You will be asked to write down whether you have given your loved one assistance for various activities of daily life. With ‘assistance’, we mean that you have supported your loved one in the task or have taken over the task entirely. Please fill in as accurately as possible the amount of time that you spend on all activities. For some caregivers it feels like they spend the whole day caring for their loved one. For example, because the care is very hard work. Even so, try to indicate as precisely as possible how much time you really spend caring for your loved one. There are questions further on in this questionnaire about how hard the care feels to you. Complete the questions based on how the previous week has been. Choose another week if your time expenditure in the previous week has been very different to the average week, for example due to illness or vacation. In the past week, have you had to help your loved one with household tasks such as preparing food and drinks, cleaning the house, washing, ironing and sewing clothing, shopping for groceries or odd jobs in the house or the garden due to his/her health problems?

The following questions are about the amount of time that you spend caring for your loved one. You will be asked to write down whether you have given your loved one assistance for various activities of daily life. With ‘assistance’, we mean that you have supported your loved one in the task or have taken over the task entirely. Please fill in as accurately as possible the amount of time that you spend on all activities. For some caregivers it feels like they spend the whole day caring for their loved one. For example, because the care is very hard work. Even so, try to indicate as precisely as possible how much time you really spend caring for your loved one. There are questions further on in this questionnaire about how hard the care feels to you. Complete the questions based on how the previous week has been. Choose another week if your time expenditure in the previous week has been very different to the average week, for example due to illness or vacation. In the past week, have you had to help your loved one with household tasks such as preparing food and drinks, cleaning the house, washing, ironing and sewing clothing, shopping for groceries or odd jobs in the house or the garden due to his/her health problems?
