| Annotation | This study focuses on two sub-groups of adult children providing care for parents with dementia in the specific cross-cultural context for limited comparison. A number of the American caregivers - mostly daughters - had affectionate relationships with their parents, but expressed a relatively low degree of filial responsibility. In contrast, among Korean caregivers, daughters-in-law had the main responsibility for caregiving: they were less likely to have affectionate relationships with parents-in-law. However, Korean caregivers expressed a significantly higher level of filial responsibility than American caregivers. Some cultural differences between the two ethnic groups associated with parent care are discussed. |
