Hispanic Family Members and Caring for Those With Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Care Today, 10/27/09

Karlin NJ et al. – Hispanic care providers report high levels of self–efficacy with regard to being a caregiver, an overall satisfaction with support provided, and burden levels that suggest a need for follow–up. Participants indicated a desire for more knowledge, improved caregiving skills, and more emotional support. The respondents stated that the spiritual side of life and religious involvement were important both prior to and as a caregiver. Lower acculturation scores were reported for caregivers who were citizens of Mexico, were experiencing increased financial strain, had received help from others for a shorter duration, and had been in the caregiving role longer.
