Men’s Experience of Caring for a Partner with a Long-Term Illness or Disability

The number of male family carers in Northern Ireland is rising and, currently, around 42% of family carers are male.  Ulster University is conducting research into the experience of men who are at home looking after a spouse/partner who is living with a long-term illness or disability.  The researcher, Anne Fee (PhD Student), is recruiting male participants for the current phase of the study which comprises one-to-one interviews about their experience of caring for their spouse/partner.  Interviews will last around one hour, and will be conducted at home or in a local day centre.  If necessary, expenses can be provided to arrange alternative care while the interview is taking place, and all participants will be offered a £20 voucher in recognition of their time.  For further information about the study, or to register interest to be interviewed, contact Anne Fee at Tel: 0790 7579875, or Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
