African American daughters' attitudes about caregiving to frail, elderly parents
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe the attitude of a group of African American women caregivers about caregiving to their elders. Given the higher life expectancy of Black women, caring for the older parent is an expectation that has great significance among this cultural group. Data regarding caregiver attitudes about elder caregiving were collected using the Attitude Scale (Brody, 1983). Results showed that attitudes among individuals were different overall, however, when arranged into age groups, were similar.
