“…This study has several limitations. The use of secondary data limited our ability to extrapolate data on caregiver resources such as coping, social support, and satisfaction, which are additional elements of Pearlin et al (1990) Stress Process Model considered in prior research on young adult caregivers (Pope et al, 2018). Because positive associations have been found from caregiving (Abreu et al, 2018), care should be taken to note that although caregiver stressors and outcomes were examined, this is not the full scope of the caregiver’s experience.…”

Background and Objectives Few studies have simultaneously compared caregivers in all stages of the adult life course. This study examined age differences in associations among primary stressors (caregiver burden which includes hours of provided care and number of activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living performed), secondary stressors (financial and employment strains), and caregiver outcomes (emotional strain and physical strain). Research Design Using Pearlin’s Stress Process Model (1990) and the Caregiving in the United States 2015 dataset, 1,156 caregivers were identified (including 278 young adults aged 18–39 years, 464 midlife adults aged 40–59 years, and 414 older adults aged 60–80 years). Results Post hoc analyses revealed that compared to older adults, young adults reported less caregiver burden, less physical strain, and greater financial strain. Linear regression analyses revealed associations between caregiver burden and financial strain with emotional and physical strain for all respondents. Discussion and Implications Findings emphasize the need for age-specific interventions.

Caring for People with Dementia (PwD) has various negative effects that are detrimental to caregivers. The existence of Positive Aspects of Caregiving (PAC) makes the experience of caring for PwD more positive, valuable and protects caregivers from various negative impacts while caring for PwD. This study aims to explain the factors associated with PAC. These literature reviews were accessed from six databases (Scopus, CINAHL, Science Direct, ProQuest, PubMed, and SAGE Journal), with the keywords factor, positive aspects of caregiving, Dementia/ Alzheimer’s, during January 2021, limited to 2016-2020, and in English. A total of 318 journals were selected using PRISMA, then leaving 16 journals to be analyzed using The Joanna Briggs Institution Checklist. Sixteen journals were analyzed and divided into two themes, factors that affect PAC (n = 9) and factors affected by PAC (n = 7). Factors that affect PAC are caregiver characteristics, care-recipient characteristics, and social support. Factors affected by PAC are caregiving outcomes. Factors that increase PAC are lower education level, good social support, severe BPSD, shorter duration of care, and relationship with care-recipient (except spouse), and gender (male). The mediating factors that increase PAC are unmet needs and reciprocal filial piety. Factors that lower PAC are higher education level, the use of avoidance coping, and older age. We found inconsistencies in caregiver marital status and relationship with care-recipient because the finding still uncertain.

“…The limited research conducted with young adult carers points to a range of common positive and negative impacts including experiences of parentification (also known as role reversal, when a child takes on responsibilities typically reserved for a parent), social isolation, and alterations in life-course trajectory (Thomas et al, 2003) as well as the development of resilience (Pope et al, 2018). An even greater complexity of experience is unearthed when taking into consideration ethnocultural minority identity, from the cultural norms placed on young carers (Phar et al, 2014) to the impacts of taking on a caring role in a society whose health care system is often insensitive to ethnocultural diversity (Brotman & Ferrer, 2015).…”

“…Most of this work has focused on children under the age of 18 who provide care to family members with mental and chronic health conditions (Aldridge, 2006; Becker, 2007; East, 2010). A smaller, but growing body of literature regarding the experiences and impacts of young adult care provision (18–35 years) has emerged in recent years, pointing to the many consequences of care, both negative (i.e., delayed developmental milestones, educational and career disruptions, social isolation) and positive (i.e., emotional maturity, enhanced capacity to organize; Pope et al, 2018; Thomas et al, 2003). It should be noted that throughout this article we use the word “carer” instead of “caregiver.” In recent years, activist groups have taken up the term carer in order to contest the binary, unidirectional, and nonreciprocal assumptions embedded within the term caregiver (Carers Canada: www.carerscanada.ca).…”

This article, reporting on a Canadian-based research project, tells the stories of three first- and second-generation, racialized, young women from immigrant families in order to illuminate their unique realities of intergenerational care and to better understand the role of gender, racialization, and migration in shaping their lived experiences of care. Using a feminist-informed adaption to the intersectional life-course approach, we explore the life-course challenges experienced by these women and their perspectives on agency, resilience, and resistance in light of personal, relational, and structural barriers faced by both themselves and their parents and grandparents for whom they provide care. Findings related to meanings attributed to care and family, developmental and relational disruptions and their impact, hybridized subjectivity, and responses to discrimination and social isolation are explored through the telling of women’s caring stories across time. The article concludes with recommendations for social work intervention and service provision in order to better recognize and support racialized young first- and second-generation adult women carers across sectors.
