Summary of study

An online cross-sectional survey for informal caregivers (e.g. family and friends) of people living with chronic kidney disease in the United Kingdom. Study aimed to examine informal caregivers' cognitive behavioural therapy self-help intervention preferences, and describe the caregiving situation (e.g. types of care activities) and informal caregiver's mental health (depression, anxiety and stress symptoms).

Participants were eligible to participate if they were at least 18 years old, lived in the United Kingdom, and provided unpaid care to someone living with chronic kidney disease who was at least 18 years old.

The online survey included questions regarding (1) informal caregiver's characteristics; (2) care recipient's characteristics; (3) intervention preferences (e.g. content, delivery format); and (4) informal caregiver's mental health. Informal caregiver's mental health was assessed using the 21 item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), which is composed of three subscales measuring depression, anxiety, and stress, respectively.

Sixty-five individuals participated in the survey.

1. ENTWINE_ESR14_Kidney Carer Survey Data_FULL_2022-08-30: Excel file with the complete, raw survey data. Note: the first half of participant's postal codes was collected, however this data was removed from the uploaded dataset to ensure participant anonymity.

2. ENTWINE_ESR14_Kidney Carer Survey Data_Clean DASS-21 Data_2022-08-30: Excel file with cleaned data for the DASS-21 scale. Data cleaning involved imputation of missing data if participants were missing data for one item within a subscale of the DASS-21. Missing values were imputed by finding the mean of all other items within the relevant subscale. 

3. ENTWINE_ESR14_Kidney Carer Survey_KEY_2022-08-30: Excel file with key linking item labels in uploaded datasets with the corresponding survey question.
