According to WHO, dementia currently affects around 10 million people in the European Union and about 55 million worldwide, while its prevalence is expected to double by 2030. Increasing understanding of the experience of dementia is crucial to meet the dementia challenge of an ageing population. Generally, care for people with dementia can be organised in inpatient and outpatient care structures. However, in the EU, 60% of care is provided by informal caregivers, who play a central role in providing long-term care in Europe. Yet, despite the heavy price they often pay for their own health and economic status, they remain in the blind spot. Being a caregiver may involve considerable physical, psychological, financial and domestic challenges. Such challenges and stresses can severely affect aspects of caregivers' health and well-being.
