Carers Survey
If you are the Carer of someone suffering with PTSD I would greatly appreciate your participation in this survey. I am a Carer to my husband who was diagnosed 6 yrs ago after working as a Firefighter for 34 yrs. I am conducting this research as I am undertaking a Certificate IV course in Chaplaincy through Chaplaincy Australia. As a Carer I have a great desire to come alongside other Carers and support them in their role. I'm hoping to begin a Support Group in my local area in the New Year. Thanks so much for any information you may be able to offer. If you don't feel comfortable answering questions here, you can PC me directly.
I'll post results here when data has been collected and findings soughted. I have also sent a Survey out to Psychiatrists/Psychologists as to their view towards the Support of Carers.
1) Male Female Age
(Carer)
2) Country State
3) Your relationship to the person diagnosed with PTSD.
4) Brief reason as to why the person was diagnosed with PTSD ie Emergency Services (which service)/Car crash/Incest victim etc
5) How long ago was the person diagnosed with PTSD?
6) As a Carer did you receive any support when the person was first diagnosed with PTSD? If YES please specify what type of support.
7) Has the support made a difference to your role as a Carer? Please specify in what way?
8) If the diagnosis was over 2 yrs ago has the support you utilise changed? Please specify in what way?
9) Were you offered support at the initial diagnosis but DID NOT access it? Please specify what type of support?
10) For what reason did you NOT access the support offered?
11) If you were NOT offered support, would you have liked support offered? If YES what kind of support would you have liked?
ie advice/Guidance/Knowledge/Friendship/Understanding/Just someone to Listen
12) Have you tried to seek support for yourself? If YES please specify what type of support and where you sought it ie websites/forums/psychologists/support groups/friends/family etc.
13) Have youbeen offered support at any time since the initial diagnosis? If YES Please specify.
