| Annotation | A grounded theory methodology with a theoretical perspective of health as expanding consciousness was used in this study of help-seeking by older wife caregivers of husbands with dementia. 11 older wife caregivers were interviewed to discover whether there is a new substantive theory entitled "Help Seeking Choices: Taking One Day at a Time" which was grounded to reality as experienced by the participants. The antecedent category of realising wrongness, with sub-themes of recognising a problem, accepting direction from others, and recognising help needs is described. (RH). |
