| Annotation | In this US study, 92 adult children (mainly daughters who were married) pre-selected for self-reports of crisis in parent care were interviewed about their concerns and goals for caregiving. They were asked to discuss experiences of crisis in the previous 6 months of caregiving. Key points identified in the study include: the presence of multiple issues pertaining to significant life and death events; early experiences with the family of origin; and focal patterns of distress and coping. Synthesis of the findings reveal overriding concerns for making improvements to one's family of origin, created family of adulthood, and middle-aged self. Findings have implications for experiential adult education in the area of filial maturity and caregiving. (RH). |
