We explored how Latino cultural values play a role in perceived caregiving experiences.
We conducted a qualitative study that used individual, in-depth, semi-structured interviews with middle-aged and older Latinos who were primary caregivers of family members with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The interview guide consisted of questions about participants' perceptions of family caregiving and interrelationships between the caregiver and care recipient. The interviews were recorded, translated, and transcribed . We performed direct content analysis.
Participants were caregivers, 50-75 years old ( = 16), and the majority were female. We identified four cultural values that were salient to participants' caregiving experiences: (a) , (b) (c) , and (d) .
Latino cultural values influenced the role of caregiving and caregiving roles of family members with ADRD. Future research should consider these values as they affect different familial and health dynamics.
我们探讨了拉丁裔文化价值观如何在感知的照护体验中发挥作用。
我们进行了一项定性研究,采用个体、深入、半结构化访谈的方式,采访了作为阿尔茨海默病和相关痴呆症(ADRD)家庭成员的主要照护者的中老年拉丁裔。访谈指南包括关于参与者对家庭照护的看法以及照护者与照护接受者之间相互关系的问题。访谈进行了录音、翻译和转录。我们进行了直接的内容分析。
参与者是 50-75 岁的照护者(n=16),大多数是女性。我们确定了四个与参与者照护体验相关的文化价值观:(a)、(b)、(c)和(d)。
拉丁裔文化价值观影响了 ADRD 患者家庭成员的照护角色和照护角色。未来的研究应考虑这些价值观,因为它们会影响不同的家庭和健康动态。
