Understanding experiences of patients and carers after delirium in hospital to develop a rehabilitation program
About the Study
The aim of this study is to develop a rehabilitation program to help support the health of those leaving hospital after delirium.
To design a relevant and useful program, we’d like to talk to people with experience of leaving hospital with delirium.
Participants will need to attend 1 or 2 recorded sessions, each between 1 and 1½ hours long. In the first session, we’ll talk about your experiences, either in a small group (focus group style) or in a one-on-one interview with a researcher.
In the second optional session, we’ll chat about how the program should look and get some feedback on our program resources.

Eligible participants will:
- Be aged 60 years or older
- Have had delirium in the past 2 years
- Be recovered from their delirium
OR
- Be a carer for the above persons
- Carers can be 18 years or older
All participants must speak/read English well enough to have a conversation.

Benefits
All participants will receive a $50 Coles/Myer gift voucher for every session they attend (maximum 2 sessions).
