Dementia caregiving involves a challenging and complex process, especially for immigrant families. Using a qualitative method, this study provides an in-depth exploration of caregiving experiences among Korean American caregivers of people living with dementia. Based on various sampling strategies, 16 Korean American caregivers of family members/relatives with dementia were recruited in the greater Los Angeles area. Guided by the stress process model and the constant comparative method, themes and subthemes were derived and categorized into four domains: (1) background/context; (2) perception/appraisal; (3) resources/coping, and (4) caregiver burden/reward. Findings suggest that intervention efforts should focus on educating and training dementia caregivers.
