EXploring the experiences of Indonesian migrant domestic workers in caring for older adults in Asia

Presenter: Dr. Andrian Liem

About the presentation

‘EXploring the experiences of Indonesian migrant domestic workers in caring for older adults in Asia’ (EXIMA Project) aims to comprehensively explore the experiences of Indonesian migrant domestic workers (IMDWs) in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan as informal caregivers of older adults. These experiences are explored with an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. In this sharing session, Andrian will share updates from the quantitative part of the study to explore the psychological and social conditions, self-efficacy in caring for older adults, dementia awareness and attitudes towards dementia among IMDWs caring for older adults. Furthermore, the conditions of the older adults will also be reported through observation of the IMDWs, including their health status, lifestyle, dementia symptoms and ability to perform daily activities.
