Abstract
Identifying informal carers is a complex task due to the diverse nature of caring roles and relationships. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to explore methods for informal carer identification. Six articles were reviewed. Methods for identification included population surveys, analysis of electronic medical records and a multifaceted approach focused on awareness and education in healthcare settings. There was considerable variability in the identification methods, the definitions of informal carers and the effectiveness of the methods to identify them. The review indicates a lack of consensus on the most effective methods for identifying informal carers.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
