The prevalence of hypertension is highest among African American women, who often occupy caregiving roles. The purpose of the current study is to describe intergenerational caregiving and communication themes that emerged during focus groups with African American older adult women (mean age = 73 years) on information sharing and self-management of hypertension. Thematic analysis revealed two overarching themes: Caregiving Responsibilities and Improving the Health of Younger Generations. Women wanted to help younger generations better manage their blood pressures. These findings suggest that intergenerational relationships may have an important role in managing health conditions, such as hypertension. Further examination of intergenerational relationships as targets for blood pressure self-management intervention is warranted to: (a) address the need for women to share their wisdom, and (b) help improve blood pressure management among African American individuals across the lifespan.

高血压患病率在非裔美国女性中最高，她们经常承担照顾他人的角色。本研究的目的是描述在与非裔美国老年女性（平均年龄 = 73岁）进行的焦点小组讨论中出现的代际照顾和沟通主题，这些讨论围绕高血压信息共享和自我管理展开。主题分析揭示了两个总体主题：照顾责任和改善年轻一代的健康。女性希望帮助年轻一代更好地控制血压。这些发现表明，代际关系可能在管理高血压等健康状况方面发挥重要作用。有必要进一步研究代际关系作为血压自我管理干预的目标，以：（a）满足女性分享智慧的需求，（b）帮助改善非裔美国人一生的血压管理。[《老年护理研究》。2018年；11(1):39 - 47。]
