“…For example, developing policy based on the limited knowledge could lead to erroneous and ineffective decisions, especially when attempts are made to fit people of color into a majority‐culture situation or solution (Dilworth‐Anderson & McAdoo, 1988). However, given our findings, it would be difficult to approach the task of influencing public and governmental policy without using the majority Anglo culture or African Americans as a reference point because more is known about these groups.…”

Articles published in prominent family science journals over a 14-year period were analyzed for their attention to U.S. ethnic groups. Articles were analyzed in terms of their ethnic population of interest, topic of study, type of implication for applied professionals, funding source, and sample characteristics. A number of findings indicate an increasing sensitivity and dedication to research focusing on these groups; however, fewer than 16% of the articles were found to focus on U.S. ethnic populations, and only one fourth of these offered specific recommendations to practicing family science professionals. This analysis of the family science literature provides a baseline against which future efforts in basic and applied research can be measured.

“…Responsibility for managing the relative's physiological crisis appears to be a collaborative effort-a family systems approach. The reason for this collaborative effort might be related to ingrained cultural and religious beliefs and patterns, socioeconomic benefits, and the availability of a large social support network (Dilworth-Anderson & McAdoo, 1988). Critical care nurses need to be flexible and willing to communicate and interact with a variety of African American family members.…”

“…Adding to the complexity of this often stressful and tenuous situation is the different response patterns of family members from diverse cultural backgrounds (Dilworth-Anderson & McAdoo, 1988;Greipp, 1995;Lawton, Rajagopal, Brody, & Kleban, 1992). People often have culturally distinctive needs and coping styles for managing stress associated with health and illness (Bates & Edwards, 1992;Caralis, Davis, Wright, & Marcial, 1993;Facione, 1993).…”

Professional nursing support for culturally diverse family members of critically ill adults

Family members' perceptions of professional support expected of critical care nurses were examined for differences related to cultural affiliation using the "Professional Support Questionnaire for Critical Care Nurses Working with Family Members" (PSQ). The PSQ was administered face-to-face to family members waiting to visit a critically ill relative admitted to the intensive care unit. ANOVA and post hoc tests were computed to compare 90 family members' expectations for professional nursing support during a relative's critical illness across three cultural groups-African American, Hispanic, and White. There were significant differences in family members' responses on certain PSQ items across cultural groups. Despite these differences, family members' expectations of professional support from critical care nurses were generally universal-suggesting equitable care, dignity, and respect should be universal values. There is a need for critical care nurses to develop interventions that respect some cultural uniqueness as well as address the universal needs of family members coping with the ICU admission of a critically ill family member.

“…The consideration of intergenerational kin work as well as levels of time is important for understanding the heterogeneity of fathering patterns in diverse contexts (Dilworth‐Anderson & McAdoo, ; Jarrett, ). Madhavan and Roy () compared networks in Black South African and African American families and noted similar processes of securing father involvement through kin investment.…”

Fathering From the Long View: Framing Personal and Social Change Through Life Course Theory

Life course theory is a unique and critical approach to our emerging understanding of fathering over the next century. To understand contemporary fathering is to pay close attention to personal and social change in men's lives. Equipped with a theory that links history, social structures, and individual lives, we might clarify some of the ambiguity and confusion surrounding contemporary men's roles in families. I review previous research on fathering over the life course and assess the strengths and limitations of such research. I reexamine 5 themes that were presented 2 decades ago in order to translate life course insights into family science (Bengtson & Allen, 1993). I integrate my own research on low‐income fathers and families into these themes. Finally, I offer some insights for advances in fathering scholarship through life course theory.
