- 요약Implications for both policy and social work practice with Korean American families with dementia are addressed. Followed by three illustrative questions that need future investigation, the researcher's epilogue on conducting research with family caregivers is presented.

- 요약The findings of this study will be helpful to professionals in their understanding of the underlying and dynamic context of Korean American family caregiving. Contrary to previous research on Korean American family caregiving, the accounts of caregiver participants suggest that the sense of filial piety alone does not seem to be sufficient motivation for caregiving of the elderly with dementia. Rather, it was the history of a close relationship and/or affection between the patient and the caregiver that led the caregiver to actively participate in the caregiving process. Another distinctive finding from this study was that these caregivers actively utilized formal elder care services.

- 요약The findings revealed that caregiving had different meanings for each caregiver and the meaning of the experience changed with the progression of the disease within each individual patient. However, there were six core themes that characterized these caregivers' experiences: (1) understanding about elderly patients with AD by accepting AD as a disease, (2) self-definition & self-appraisal of caregiving, (3) contemplating existential thoughts, (4) polarity of ambivalent feelings, (5) questioning of the transgenerational continuity of filial piety, and (6) different experiences with the formal care system.
- Abstracts/Etc
- 요약This study was based on a small, but relatively heterogeneous sample. It advanced the understanding of the experiences faced by Korean American caregivers. The findings unveiled how caregivers and families coped with the transition into caregiving for their elderly family members both before and after the onset of dementia as well as what caregivers experienced after their patients died, which is useful in developing a stage-specific systematic intervention for family caregivers.
- Abstracts/Etc
- 요약This transcendental phenomenological study was conducted in an effort to understanding of the experiences of caregiving from the perspective of primary caregivers in Korean American families residing in the Chicago area. Interviews with ten primary caregivers of elderly patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia were analyzed with the systematic procedure of Moustakas' (1994) modification of the Van Kaam method of phenomenological analysis. This analysis was designed to uncover both caregivers' explicit and implicit descriptions of their caregiving experiences.
