This study examined the family well-being concerns of grandparents in skipped-generation families. Co-resident grandparents who are responsible for raising their grandchildren completed surveys, focus groups, or individual interviews. Service providers to skipped-generation families also participated in individual interviews to provide an additional perspective to grandparents' concerns. Results indicated 5 levels of concerns: intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational or institutional, policy, and societal. Concerns at different levels were interrelated and pointed to the need for multilevel interventions to help these families. Implications of the findings for future interventions with skipped-generation families are discussed.
本研究调查了隔代家庭中祖父母对家庭幸福的担忧。负责抚养孙辈的同住祖父母完成了调查问卷、焦点小组讨论或个人访谈。为隔代家庭提供服务的人员也参与了个人访谈，以便从另一个角度了解祖父母的担忧。结果显示出五个层面的担忧：个人层面、人际层面、组织或机构层面、政策层面和社会层面。不同层面的担忧相互关联，表明需要采取多层次干预措施来帮助这些家庭。文中讨论了这些研究结果对未来隔代家庭干预措施的启示。
