“…Their linguistic and cultural relation to their parents affords them some jurisdiction to make joint decisions on how to manage health and illness [ 26 ]. These values of familial kinship and filial piety, the cultural embeddedness of caregiving, and the ability to inform health care preferences and practices can empower adult children to not only care for their parents, but also to see the value of participating in chronic disease comanagement using virtual care [ 21 - 23 , 27 - 31 ]. Many adult child caregivers are also highly educated and have strong digital and health literacy skills [ 32 - 34 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed how Canadians access health care. Although it is undeniable that the rapid adoption of virtual care has played a critical role in reducing viral transmission, the gap in equitable access to virtual care remains pervasive for Canada’s aging and ethnocultural minority communities. Existing virtual care solutions are designed for the English-speaking, health-literate, and tech-savvy patient population, excluding older ethnic adults who often do not see themselves reflected in these identities. In acknowledging the permanency of virtual care brought on by the pandemic, we have a collective responsibility to co-design new models that serve our older ethnic patients who have been historically marginalized by the status quo. Building on existing foundations of caregiving within ethnocultural minority communities, one viable strategy to realize culturally equitable virtual care may be to engage the highly motivated and skilled family caregivers of older ethnic adults as partners in the technology-mediated management of their chronic disease. The time is now to build a model of shared virtual care that embraces Canada’s diverse cultures, while also providing its older ethnic adults with access to health innovations in partnership with equally invested family caregivers who have their health at heart.

“…Moreover, strong filial piety was identified as a protective factor that could reduce the negative impact of caregiving stress [ 47 , 54 ], in spite of caregivers’ age and the care recipients’ dependency level [ 55 ]. The adult children may even experience a sense of gain, role reward or conformity to social morality after fulfillment of filial duties, which in turn buffers their caregiving burden [ 56 , 57 ]. The beneficial effect of filial piety indicated the necessity of incorporating cultural values in supporting family, particularly in Eastern cultures.…”

Background Filial piety, as a major traditional norm in Chinese culture and in Chinese families, affects the attitudes and behaviors of adult children toward their parents and impacts their end-of-life decision-making and the quality of death of their parents. Death literacy is a novel concept aimed at promoting palliative care in the context of public health. Aims To understand attitudes and behaviors related to filial piety and to examine the role of death literacy in filial behaviors toward dying parents among residents in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area of China. Methods A cross-sectional online survey that employed the convenient and snowball sampling methods was adopted. Filial Piety Representations at Parents’ End of Life Scale and Death Literacy Index were used. Results This study identified a significant gap between the filial piety attitudes and behaviors of Chinese adult children. Gender, caregiving experience and death literacy were predictors of filial behaviors in an end-of-life context. Conclusion Providing truth disclosure support, offering guidance to young adult children and caregivers of terminally ill fathers, and strengthening factual and community knowledge of death are necessary to enhance the reciprocal comfort of both adult children and dying parents in the context of Chinese filiality.

“…Furthermore, it is plausible that when both spouses held only a few IADL limitations, the couple could benefit from the use of assistive devices and services (e.g., meal delivery), which might have simplified some tasks and diminished their need for mutual support (Wolff & Kasper, 2006). Future research could treat couple-level functional declines as a developmental process and explore how the within-couple dynamics and negotiations regarding caregiving change along this process (Hsueh et al, 2014).…”

Existing research on spousal care focuses on one spouse receiving care from the other, which fails to address the complexity that is created when both spouses experience some impairments. Our study included situations in which one or both spouses have functional impairments when examining the extent to which spouses from the same couple hold a (dis)similar level of functional impairment and whether such within-couple (dis)similarity has an impact on the spousal care arrangement.
