“…228–229). For Muslims, kinship care systems consist of multifaceted family and social ties, which integrate biological, cultural, ideological and social dynamics (Abdullah, 2016). Economic life for a Muslim is often seen as a spiritual end, which highlights that prosperity is associated with living a virtuous life, for example, by using resources provided by nature efficiently (Parboteeah et al , 2009; Ramadani et al , 2015).…”

PurposeThis article explores value-based motivations to adopt ecological entrepreneurship (ecopreneurship) practices and investigates how intersections of social identities such as gender, religion and ethnicity influence these motivations.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses primary data from field observations, social media analysis and semistructured in-depth interviews with 16 owner-managers of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Indonesian craft sector.FindingsThe findings show that self-enhancement, conservation and self-transcendence values motivated the entrepreneurs to adopt ecopreneurship practices. Furthermore, the intersections of identities also tended to influence the entrepreneurs' motivations to adopt ecopreneurship practices.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample was limited to the Indonesian craft sector. However, the study has furthered one’s understanding of how values motivate ecopreneurship behavior. Conservation values were added to the values known to influence proenvironmental behavior. Furthermore, Schwartz's value theory, strongly associated with Western, individualistic, culture is suggested to be adapted. In Asian – collectivist – cultures, the values driving the entrepreneur are often more community-oriented than individualistic.Practical implicationsThis study recommends policymakers to create more inclusive policies to foster the acceleration of sustainable development by equitably including both genders and encourages them to promote local culture, which motivates entrepreneurs in the craft sector to adopt ecopreneurship practices.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the entrepreneurship literature, particularly to the fields of gender and ecopreneurship, by considering the intersections of identities of the ecopreneurs. A research agenda for ecological entrepreneurship and family business researchers is provided.

“…Together with these negative emotions, participants in the focus groups also reported feeling pride and fulfillment because of their caregiving role. These emotions were especially strong among adult children caring for their parents and might be a reflection of the importance of caring for older parents in the Islamic faith (Abdullah, 2016), as well as a validation of recent studies stressing the existence of positive consequences of caregiving together with the traditional negative consequences (de Labra et al., 2015).…”

Providing care to persons with Alzheimer's disease poses challenges for spouses and adult children, including experiencing stigmatic beliefs towards themselves-i.e., family stigma. Drawing on the frameworks of ethnicity and stigma and ethnicity and dementia, the current study explored stigmatic experiences among Israeli Arab family caregivers of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Three focus groups with 20 caregivers (adult children and spouses) of persons with Alzheimer's disease were conducted. Data were analyzed using theory-led thematic analysis. Caregivers reported experiencing family stigma in two dimensions: public and affiliate stigma, in both the existence of an attribution process in which cognitive stereotypes elicit negative and positive emotions which in turn provoke behavioral attributions, was evident. Family stigma was found to be a discernible feature of everyday reality among Israeli Arab caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease and stress the importance of developing management strategies that are tailored to the socio-cultural characteristics of the caregivers.

“…Some studies have suggested using mosques as a platform to raise awareness of dementia (e.g. Abdullah, 2016; Qadir et al., 2013). However, this was not an idea that was overly welcomed when proposed to our caregivers.…”

“…This appears to be a sound strategy to cope with the strains of caregiving, without abandoning their duty to care. Indeed stigma surrounds institutional or residential care in Islamic communities (Abdullah, 2016) and nursing homes are viewed as a cause of deterioration of an older person's health, but hired help to support care in the home is an acceptable compromise (Dar al-Ifta al Misriyyah, 2018). Our caregivers viewed nursing homes as 'insulting' to older adults or to be used only as a last resort when an older person has no family.…”

“…Furthermore, although ethnic minority carers may feel obliged to care for their family, they may not be willing, be prepared or know how (Parveen & Oyebode, 2018). There are limited studies on attitudes and experiences of dementia in Pakistan (Ali & Bokharey, 2015, 2016Khan, Khan, Khan, & Najam, 2017;Qadir et al, 2013). Ali and Bokharey interviewed eight caregivers of people with dementia in Pakistan on their experiences of dementia caregiving (Ali & Bokharey, 2015).…”

Dementia awareness, beliefs and barriers among family caregivers in Pakistan

et al. 2020

OBJECTIVES: Dementia research and services in Pakistan are limited. The following was explored in experiences of family caregivers of people with dementia in Pakistan: a) to determine whether culture and religion play a role in caregiving; b) to draw insights on how family caregivers cope, what barriers they face, and what help they would be willing to accept; and c) to determine how these findings could be used to raise awareness and influence public policies in improving the lives of families living with dementia. METHODS: The experiences of family caregivers of people with dementia in Pakistan were explored via semi-structured interviews (10 in Lahore; 10 in Karachi). This was part of a larger qualitative study conducted about dementia in Pakistan. Caregivers interviewed were aged 35-80 (14 female). Most caregivers in the study were educated and affluent. Interviews were conducted in Urdu, translated into English and thematically analysed. RESULTS: Five themes emerged: Knowledge & Awareness; Stigma; Importance of Religion and Duty to Care; Use of Day Care Centres and Home-help; and Barriers. A lack of dementia awareness exists in Pakistan. The religious duty to care for family influenced caregiving decisions. Day care centres and home-help were accessed and viewed positively. The caregivers also wanted extracurricular activities for people with dementia, support groups for caregivers, and better training for healthcare staff. Novel findings included that caregivers felt that dementia should not be stigmatized, and awareness should be raised in Pakistan via TV, radio and social media, but not inside mosques. DISCUSSION: Additional research is necessary to determine if positive views of day care centres and home-help exist more widely. Attitudes and experiences regarding stigma may be different for caregivers of people with more advanced dementia. We recommend raising dementia awareness, allocating more funds to dementia services, and an emphasis on home-based care.
