Abstract
This study measures care views towards older persons with disabilities using Trinidad as a case study. A questionnaire is first developed based on Daly and Lewis’ (2000) three-dimensional concept of care which is then administered to a representative sample of adults in Trinidad. Results from 868 respondents reveal six dimensions of care, with care as a duty having the same prevalence as four other views, namely, care as labour, a cost to the individual, a cost to other relatives, and a financial burden. Regression analysis is conducted to determine the significant factors for each dimension. Ethnicity, employment status, education, and experiences with persons with disabilities have varying and sometimes conflicting effects on the care dimensions. The explicit influence of gender on the care views is also investigated. Overall, the findings are discussed within the ethics of care framework to ensure various care needs are met.
期刊介绍：
As a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that has existed for over three decades, Ageing International serves all professionals who deal with complex ageing issues. The journal is dedicated to improving the life of ageing populations worldwide through providing an intellectual forum for communicating common concerns, exchanging analyses and discoveries in scientific research, crystallizing significant issues, and offering recommendations in ageing-related service delivery and policy making. Besides encouraging the submission of high-quality research and review papers, Ageing International seeks to bring together researchers, policy analysts, and service program administrators who are committed to reducing the ''implementation gap'' between good science and effective service, between evidence-based protocol and culturally suitable programs, and between unique innovative solutions and generalizable policies. For significant issues that are common across countries, Ageing International will organize special forums for scholars and investigators from different disciplines to present their regional perspectives as well as to provide more comprehensive analysis. The editors strongly believe that such discourse has the potential to foster a wide range of coordinated efforts that will lead to improvements in the quality of life of older persons worldwide.
