Being a family carer of someone with LBD can be challenging, and is associated with high levels of stress, depression and anxiety. Admiral Nursing services support family carers of people with dementia in the UK by providing tailored information, advice and therapeutic support. Recently, the Admiral Nurse model has been adapted to the needs of more specific populations, including the introduction of a new, specialist LBD Admiral Nurse.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>to explore family carers\u2019 experiences of the LBD Admiral Nurse service.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>fourteen family carers of people with LBD were interviewed about their experiences of the LBD Admiral Nurse service.

In theme 2, participants described how the practical, tailored support provided by the LBD Admiral Nurse enabled them to better manage a variety of caring-related challenges. Theme 3 captured the emotional benefits that participants gained from being able to talk to someone who understood their situation. In theme 4, participants explained how the reliability of the LBD Admiral Nurse\u2019s support helped them feel supported in their role.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>the specialist knowledge and expertise of the LBD Admiral Nurse enabled family carers to better support the people they cared for, and to relieve some of the emotional stress associated with caring.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afac207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,9]],"date-time":"2022-10-09T17:16:28Z","timestamp":1665335788000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["\u2018It\u2019s just incredible the difference it has made\u2019: family carers\u2019 experiences of a specialist Lewy body dementia Admiral Nurse service"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"51","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5251-4615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura J E","family":"Brown","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Manchester Centre for Health Psychology , Division of Psychology and Mental Health, , Manchester , UK"},{"name":"School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester, Manchester Academic Health Sciences Centre , Division of Psychology and Mental Health, , Manchester , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zena","family":"Aldridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dementia UK , London , UK"},{"name":"Faculty of Health & Life Sciences, De Montfort University , Leicester , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Pepper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dementia UK , London , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iracema","family":"Leroi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry , School of Medicine, , Dublin , Ireland"},{"name":"Trinity College Dublin , School of Medicine, , Dublin , Ireland"},{"name":"Global Brain Health Institute, Trinity College Dublin , Dublin , Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen Harrison","family":"Dening","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dementia UK , London , UK"},{"name":"Faculty of Health & Life Sciences, De Montfort University , Leicester , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022100917162036800_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(19)30153-X","article-title":"New evidence on the management of Lewy body dementia","volume":"19","author":"Taylor","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Neurol"},{"key":"2022100917162036800_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1186\/s13195-018-0350-6","article-title":"Clinical prevalence of Lewy body dementia","volume":"10","author":"Kane","year":"2018","journal-title":"Alzheimers Res Ther"},{"key":"2022100917162036800_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"88","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000004058","article-title":"Diagnosis and management of dementia with Lewy bodies.
