About the researcher and the study
I am a British instructor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Japan, where, in addition to teaching medical English to Japanese medical students, I conduct linguistic research into the metaphors people use to make sense of their lived experiences. This time I am conducting a study entitled: “The Lived Experience of Dementia as Revealed by the Metaphors People with Dementia Use to Describe and Make Sense of Their Condition.”
I am seeking participants to this study, the findings of which will contribute to increasing understanding of the lived experience of people with dementia as expressed by them in their very own metaphors and words.
Who can participate?
Anyone with a diagnosis of dementia
How to participate?
The study involves accessing a Google Form and filling in the blanks of a sentence, “Dementia is like _____________ because ____________.” You may add more sentences to this one if you wish. You will also give some background information about yourself, such as age, gender, type of dementia, and time since dementia diagnosis.
Filling in the metaphor-sentence and background information should take 10 to 20 minutes.
