To provide lifeworld insights into experiences of adult children with caring responsibility for an 80+-year-old chronically ill parent with frailty.
Informal care is common in Nordic welfare countries; however, little is known about adult children's experience of caring responsibility in this setting.
A phenomenological-hermeneutic study based on Reflective Lifeworld Research.
Diaries and semi-structured interviews with 12 adult children.
Caring responsibility is identified as "a condition of life, filled with uncertainty." Three constituents contribute to this phenomenon: (a) balancing love, duty and reciprocity; (b) being the parent's advocate and manager; and (c) experiencing concerns and bodily strain.
Adult children work hard to provide care and enhance the well-being of their parent. Heidegger's concept 'Fürsorge' may help us understand how by showing how caring responsibility means balancing different roles vis-à-vis the parent, one's own life and the health and social systems. Caring responsibility changes the relationship between parent and child.
深入了解承担照顾80岁及以上体弱慢性病父母责任的成年子女的生活世界体验。
在北欧福利国家,非正式照料很常见;然而,在这种情况下,人们对成年子女承担照料责任的体验知之甚少。
一项基于反思性生活世界研究的现象学诠释学研究。
对12名成年子女进行日记记录和半结构化访谈。
照料责任被认定为“一种充满不确定性的生活状态”。这一现象有三个构成要素:(a)平衡爱、责任和互惠;(b)成为父母的支持者和管理者;(c)经历担忧和身体压力。
成年子女努力提供照料并增进父母的福祉。海德格尔的“共在”概念或许有助于我们理解照料责任如何意味着在与父母、自己的生活以及健康和社会系统的关系中平衡不同角色。照料责任改变了父母与子女之间的关系。
