Social media use

Background: Informal carers of persons with dementia often resort to social media to alleviate their sense of social isolation and cultivate their platform to share their experience in care. Methods: The present study performed a preliminary analysis on how TikTok creators share their personal experience caring for a loved one with dementia through content shared under the hashtag #dementiacaregiver. We performed a systemic review and inductive thematic analysis of 447 TikTok posts.
