“…Fourteen themes emerged and, within each theme, the researchers examined the meaning of the lived experiences. 35 They examined the data for co-occurrence, the intersection of two themes, in order to explore the association between thematic concepts and the meaning of the phenomena. 36 With high co-occurrence, intersecting theme pairs with the highest number of co-occurrences across all four listening sessions, the study identified dominant themes and significant shared experiences.…”

Cities are increasingly employing green infrastructure, defined as a network of multi-functional open spaces within cities and between cities – including green corridors, green streets, formal parks and street trees – to promote resilience and provide clean air, flood protection and erosion control. Yet there is a growing link between these efforts and rising property values and – in some cities, including Washington, DC – displacement. This history of greening and subsequent displacement can hinder successful green-infrastructure implementation. The geographical areas with the greatest need for these amenities and other resilience strategies are often those with high concentrations of low-income, racial minorities who have traditionally been disenfranchised from local planning and development processes due to a lack of knowledge and limited access, as well as institutional racism. In these areas, the perception of green infrastructure is that of something planned by others, for others, with little direct benefit to the community. This exploratory research, which examines lived experiences, builds upon the quantitative documentation of gentrification and demographic shifts in Washington, DC. Through a series of listening sessions, the study explores residents’ experiences of green infrastructure, gentrification and civic engagement in their community. The study uncovers ways in which policymakers and planners can increase support for and the success of green-infrastructure implementation by amplifying the voices of stakeholders, including communities with vulnerable populations, in the planning process.

“…Traditional Asian cultures, including Taiwan, have regarded the care of older adults as an essential responsibility of the family (Chien et al, 2022). Prior to 1960, nearly all older relatives in Taiwan were cared for by family members due to cultural demands including reciprocity, filial piety, debt reduction (karma) and equity of shared responsibility (Hsu & Shyu, 2003).…”

Background Family members in many countries often share caregiving responsibilities for an older relative recovering from an injury. However, few studies have examined strategies employed when multiple family members provide care for an older relative recovering from hip‐fracture surgery. Objective This study aimed to understand family group caregiving strategies when two or more family members provide caregiving for an older relative recovering from hip‐fracture surgery. Methods This study used a grounded theory design. Semistructured interviews were conducted over 1 year with 13 Taiwanese family caregivers from five families. Caregivers shared caregiving responsibilities for an older relative (62–92 years of age) recovering from hip‐fracture surgery. Transcribed interviews were analysed using open, axial and selective coding. Results The core category describing caregiving among family members was ‘Preventive Group Management: strategies for family group caregiving’. Three strategies were employed: explicit division of labour (two stem/patriarchal families and one older two‐generation/democratic family); disconnected caregiving (one nuclear/noncommunicative family) and patriarchal caregiving (one extended/traditional Chinese family). Strategies reflected family type, structure, cultural values, communication patterns and available outside support. Components of family group caregiving involved family type's division of labour, approaches to caregiving and implementation challenges and allowed family caregivers to maximise safety and stability and prevent harmful events during their relative's recovery from surgery. Conclusions There was no one‐size‐fits‐all approach for the strategies of family group caregiving. Components of Preventive Group Management varied with family type, cultural values, communication patterns and available outside support. Healthcare professionals should be sensitive to the dynamics of family caregivers. Implications for Practice Enhance group management for family caregivers by developing interventions to optimize collaboration, thereby better addressing the needs of older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery.
