| Annotation | Ninety-one elderly black, Hispanic and white care-receivers and 79 caregivers were interviewed in depth regarding their role and their perceptions of the caregiving/receiving process. The importance of education, mutual support between care giver and care-receiver, assumption of responsibility for acceptance of disabilities, and learning new ways of coping were identified as key factors in the care process. The critical importance of care-receivers' roles in maintaining mental health, positive attitudes, and learning new patterns of behaviour in the care process is described. Further exploration of care-receiver issues in social work practice is suggested. |
