    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Family Studies
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Intergenerational conflict is a significant issue in families with chronically ill elderly parents.
    • Understanding the perspectives of both adult children and elderly parents is crucial for effective caregiving.
    • Previous research has not fully explored the perceptual differences in conflict between these two generations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate intergenerational conflict between adult children and their hospitalized, chronically ill elderly parents.
    • To compare perceptions of present and future conflict, areas of conflict, and negative feelings between adult children and elderly parents.
    • To identify discrepancies in reported conflict levels and their implications for clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collected from both adult children and their hospitalized, chronically ill elderly parents.
    • Investigated variables included present and future conflict, specific areas of conflict, and the presence of negative feelings.
    • Comparative analysis of self-reported data from both generational cohorts.

    Main Results:

    • Both adult children and elderly parents reported experiencing intergenerational conflict and negative feelings.
    • Significant perceptual differences were found between the two generations regarding conflict.
    • Elderly parents consistently reported lower levels of conflict compared to their adult children.

    Conclusions:

    • Discrepancies in perceived conflict highlight the need for tailored interventions addressing differing generational viewpoints.
    • Findings have implications for healthcare professionals and family therapists working with families facing chronic illness in the elderly.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying reasons for these perceptual differences in intergenerational conflict.
