| Annotation | 18 Arab Moslem caregivers living in rural communities in Northern Israel participated in personal interviews. The transcripts were analysed using van Manen's 1998 hermeneutic phenomenological approach to the study of human behaviour. Results clarified how social location affects caregiving perceptions, decisions and actions. The experiences portrayed were complex, and involved the dimensions of life, including individuals, family neighbours, and social-political environments. The holistic overview of the transcripts indicated the inseparable political and personal influences on perceptions of caregivers, a conflict of old and new social viewpoints, the absence of one main caregiver for the divided duties of several family members, and the lack of scientific information about the condition of the relative. Several motivations for caregiving were documented, and examples of personal, interpersonal and community resources were provided. (RH). |
