Abstract | Informal Student Carers (ISC) are students across the UK who provide unpaid care to a friend or family member needing support. We explored the lived experiences of ISCs and the challenges they faced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. A scoping review, questionnaire-based survey and volunteer interviews were undertaken to identify the themes which predicate ISC's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research showed that a combination of financial concerns, time constraints, and the lack of visibility of student caregivers all contributed to this student group's poor mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Educational institutions have an obligation to be informed and support the unique and varied needs of ISCs. (As Provided). |
