“…Where health disadvantages exist, explanations include the effects of migration and acculturation stress, occupational differences and hazard exposure, diminished social support, lack of access to health care and insurance, and lower rates of help-seeking behavior and health care utilization among the foreign-born ( Choi, 2015 ; Cunningham et al, 2008 ; Min et al, 2005 ). Reasons for lower rates of health care utilization include systemic inequalities and cultural barriers including socioeconomic constraints (e.g., low education and physically demanding occupations), lack of resources (e.g., insurance), lack of information regarding available services, limited English proficiency, “factors related to stigma and marginalization” ( Derose et al, 2007 , p. 1262), availability of culturally appropriate services, and expectations regarding family care ( Angel et al, 2014 ; Choi, 2015 ; Choi et al, 2015 ; Cunningham et al, 2008 ; DeNavas, 2011 ; Derose et al, 2007 ; Derr, 2016 ; Graham et al, 2009 ).…”

Background and Objectives Despite growing diversity among the aging population and extensive previous research on racial/ethnic minority caregivers, little research has been conducted on the potentially unique experiences and outcomes of informal caregivers of foreign-born care recipients. Using nationally representative data and the Stress Process Model, the current study examined the differences in caregiver outcomes (care burden, psychological well-being, self-rated health) by care recipient nativity status (U.S. born vs Foreign-born) and the extent to which caregiver outcomes vary by care recipient nativity status and caregiver race/ethnicity (Non-Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, Others). Research Design and Methods The current study used Round 5 of National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) and the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC, N=1,436). We conducted OLS regression to analyze the differences in caregiver’s outcomes by care recipient nativity status and caregiver race/ethnicity and to investigate the impacts of the inclusion of caregiving factors (background factors, primary stressors, secondary stressors, and resources). Results Regression analyses showed that only care burden significantly varied by care recipient nativity status after controlling for covariates. Caregivers of foreign-born care recipients reported higher burden. However, when interactions of care recipient nativity status × caregiver race/ethnicity were introduced, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic caregivers of foreign-born care recipients were more likely to report better psychological well-being and self-rated health compared to their counterparts. Across caregiver groups, better caregiver-care recipient relationship quality and less caregiver chronic conditions were associated with less burden and better caregiver psychological well-being and self-rated health. Discussion and Implications Care recipient nativity status and caregiver race/ethnicity may have complex effects on caregiving experiences. Given the observed significant interaction effects for caregiver psychological well-being and self-rated health, cultural factors may affect the extent to which these caregivers appraise their caregiving. Future research should delve into the appropriate ways to assess care stress as well as resilience among each caregiver group. Our results indicate the need for research, education, and practice that assesses cultural and within group differences among caregivers and informs needed changes to structural barriers.

“…In addition, efforts to building capacity and offer supports from educational institutions, community agencies and social work professionals supporting this community would be ideal (Muslim Resource Centre, 2018). While also being cautious around viewing this population as homogenous familiarizing oneself with a client or family's interpretation and understanding of their cultural and religious traditions is one way to welcome diversity in practice with families and clients from this populations (Graham, Bradshaw and Trew, 2009b).…”
