Abstract
Part one presents a conceptual introduction reviewing the literature on factors related to wellbeing and distress in early psychosis caregivers. It considers factors relating to the caregiver, to the service-user and contextual factors. An evaluation of the type of methodology and approaches to analyses of the typical measurement of the appraisals of caregiving is given. Part two is a quantitative, empirical study into whether caregiving profiles exist of types of appraisals and avoidant coping amongst carers in an early psychosis population. It further considers associations with these profiles and demographics and contextual factors and whether the profiles are related to the measures of wellbeing, depression and anxiety. It involves a secondary dataanalysis of data originally collected from a group of caregivers of service users accessing support from an Early Intervention Service (EIS). Part three is a critical appraisal of the process of undertaking this research described in parts one and two, as well as a reflection on the process of having to start on a new thesis project. It is inclusive of a series of reflections on various stages of the process, including the experience of conducting a piece of secondary data-analysis with complex analysis.
