“…In one report specifically directed at older adult kin care by low-income women, Ward and Carney (1994) describe caring as a transitional process beginning with the inevitability of the caregiving role and ending with acquiescence to it. For many women, the experience required little assistance; for others, the need for assistance, such as physical, psychosocial, and financial aid, was extensive (Adams, 1980;Kinshef & Yeolin, 1981;Ward & Carney, 1994). Ward and Carney conclude that beyond gender issues, low-income families have economic constraints that limit their ability to envision and use alternatives to their own time and labor.…”

Expressions of spirituality by urban caregivers in African American families are the focus of the study discussed in this article. Data presented here were collected as part of a larger study that examined these caregivers' experience and meaning of caring as they influenced their capacity to care for people with stroke within their family systems. This study was executed within and supported the framework of systemic organization by Friedemann, according to which families as open systems strive for well-being. Spirituality, a component of well-being, is based on values concerning commitment, love, and affection. Eight themes concerning spirituality for all caregivers emerged from the data. Through spirituality, the caregivers felt well-being and were connected and comforted in difficult times related to caring.

Predictors of Social Isolation in Older Southern Adults: A Cross-Racial Analysis

1989

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Using data collected from a sample of older Mississippians, we examine whether race has a modifying effect on the predictors of three underlying dimensions of social isolation: interaction with relatives, feelings of loneliness, and interaction with friends and neighbors. The study shows similarities and differences between black and white respondents regarding those factors predictive of social isolation within each subgroup. These findings are helpful in developing profiles to describe those older blacks and whites who may be at greatest risk of experiencing social isolation.
