Clinical Trial Description

a scoping literature review will compile evidence on informal caregiver burden during and after the pandemic (PubMed, PsychInfo, Cochrane Database). The aim of the review is to gain knowledge on frequency, severity, source and circumstances of care givers' burden and to identify research and supportive gaps. The study will recruit family members and care givers of patients with COVID-19 or long-COVID as well as bereaved family members and care givers of patients who have died during the pandemic in order to assess severity of burden. Recruitment will be done in collaboration with the German Association of Undertakers and the Federal Association for Bereavement Care. Family members and caregivers will be asked to complete a survey with instruments on bereavement burden (PG- 13), distress (PHQ-9; GAD-7) and care giver symptoms (IPOS; MIDOS-2). The survey will be available online (using SoSciSurvey platform) or as a paper and pencil version. Survey participants will be invited to in-depth interviews. Recruitment of 200 participants each for caregiving of COVID-19 patients and bereaved family members will be targeted. Interviews are planned with 30 participants in each group or until saturation is reached. Based on findings, recommendations on interventions to support family care givers will be developed ;
