Product Description:

Research repeatedly highlights the importance of family when Hispanic older adults are in need of care. Indeed, Hispanic family caregivers (HCs) hold stronger familism beliefs than their non-Hispanic White counterparts, are less likely to use professional services, and are more likely to share responsibilities with other family members. Despite the salient role of family in the Hispanic caregiving experience, no research studies have investigated the impact of family conflict/disagreement regarding care on the well-being of HCs. The current study used a daily diary design to examine: (a) the impact of family disagreement regarding care on the daily emotional/physical reactivity of HCs, and (b) the moderating role of familism - whether strong familism beliefs buffer or exacerbate the negative impact of family disagreement regarding care on the well-being of HCs.
