Childrens' and young adults' perspectives of having a parent with dementia diagnosis: A scoping review.

The children and young adults in the included studies seem to provide significant levels of care and support to their affected parent, which may affect their own health, social relations, community participation, employment, education, finances and sense of security. This means that it is important for health care systems and social services to identify barriers to these young family members' access to relevant care and support for themselves.
