This study focused on family caregiving of older people in the African American population. Specifically, it used the constant comparative method to describe caregiving processes in these families. In-depth interviews with 17 caregivers revealed that caregiving activities were initially difficult and stressful but became somewhat easier for the caregivers over time. This report describes the major process that accounted for this difference (working-out systems) and describes the steps involved in working-out systems.
本研究聚焦于非裔美国人中老年人的家庭照料情况。具体而言，它运用持续比较法来描述这些家庭中的照料过程。对17位照料者进行的深入访谈显示，照料活动最初既困难又充满压力，但随着时间推移，照料者会觉得有所减轻。本报告描述了造成这种差异的主要过程（制定系统），并阐述了制定系统所涉及的步骤。
