The caregiving literature has focused on European-American caregivers who are providing care to spouses or parents with Alzheimer's disease. The article reports ethnographic research exploring aspects of caregiving by rural African-American mothers for adult children with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Eight African-American mothers were interviewed to elicit cultural domains of caregiving. Two major domains were a personal relationship with God and God's will. Taken together, these domains framed the context in which African-American mothers understood HIV disease, provided care, and resolved the death of their adult child.
护理文献主要关注的是为患有阿尔茨海默病的配偶或父母提供护理的欧美护理人员。本文报道了一项人种志研究，探讨了美国农村非裔美国母亲对感染人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）的成年子女的护理情况。研究采访了八位非裔美国母亲，以了解护理的文化范畴。其中两个主要范畴是与上帝的个人关系以及上帝的旨意。总体而言，这些范畴构成了非裔美国母亲理解HIV疾病、提供护理以及面对成年子女死亡时的情境框架。
