The purpose of this study is to predict the likelihood of consideration of nursing home placement of the South Asian elderly. The sample consists of 118 South Asian households recruited from several religious and nonprofit organizations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The results indicate that the greater the role conflicts the caregiver experienced the greater the likelihood of considering the nursing home care option for the elderly. Findings from descriptive statistics show that South Asian females were more likely to consider nursing home placement for the elderly compared to male caregivers. Other important factors for caregiver's considerations of nursing home care option were elder's level of confusion, and number of years elder has lived in the United States. Factors that prevent an elderly from being placed in a nursing home are the level of caregiver's adherence to Asian cultural norms and the elder marital status. Implications of the findings are listed.
本研究的目的是预测南亚老年人被考虑安置到养老院的可能性。样本包括从达拉斯 - 沃思堡地区的几个宗教和非营利组织招募的118个南亚家庭。结果表明，照顾者经历的角色冲突越大，为老年人考虑养老院护理选择的可能性就越大。描述性统计结果显示，与男性照顾者相比，南亚女性更有可能考虑为老年人安置养老院。照顾者考虑养老院护理选择的其他重要因素包括老年人的困惑程度以及在美国居住的年数。阻碍老年人被安置到养老院的因素是照顾者对亚洲文化规范的遵守程度以及老年人的婚姻状况。列出了研究结果的影响。
