Abstract
Purpose: To explore cultural factors related to resilience among Black/African American Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) partner caregivers.
Method: This study used a qualitative design. An adapted Resilience Framework informed the in-depth interviews with 10 Black/African American ADRD partner caregivers.
Results: Four major themes emerged: Unfolding Process of ADRD Discovery, Resilience is Multifaceted in Caregiving, Resilience is an Adaptive Process, and Cultural Heritage Shapes Caregivers' Resilience Experiences. The major themes include a total of 18 subthemes.
Conclusion: Findings provide an in-depth understanding of how race, ethnicity, and cultural positive adaptive factors influence resilience among diverse ADRD partner caregivers. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 18(1), 21-28.].
期刊介绍:
Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
