“Through the Lens of Those Who Care: Insights from Informal Caregivers of Lung Transplant Recipients” explores the lived experiences, challenges, coping and support needs of informal caregivers (e.g., family, relatives, friends) providing care to individuals after lung transplantation.

The study aims to better understand caregivers’ perspectives on emotional, physical, and system-level demands, with the goal of informing more responsive, caregiver-centered interventions and healthcare supports across the transplant continuum.

What Does The Study Involve?

Researchers at the University of Windsor are looking for informal caregivers supporting someone after a lung transplant—a family member, friend, or loved one- to complete a survey.

A study titled Through the Lens of Those Who Care: Insights from Informal Caregivers of Lung Transplant Recipients explores caregivers’ experiences—challenges they face, the supports available, and the factors that help or hinder ability to cope.

What’s involved? Participants are invited to complete an online questionnaire.
