The number of grandparents who have responsibility for raising grandchildren has increased dramatically over the past several decades. From an educational perspective, content on custodial grandparents can promote an increased interest in, and understanding of the complexities of aging, by stressing the intergenerational aspects of this family form. This paper describes the growing population of custodial grandparents, and the larger socio-environmental contexts of these families. In addition, it highlights instructional approaches for including content on grandparent-headed families within didactic and experimental courses.

Grandparents as Family Caregivers: Lessons for Intergenerational Education

In this article, we examine parent–adolescent communication about sex among rural Indian youth and their parents. We conducted in-depth interviews (N = 40) with mothers, fathers, and adolescent boys and girls aged 14 to 18 years in a rural community in Maharashtra, India. In the context of key cultural factors, including gender-related norms, we explore issues of sexual health and critically assess widely held beliefs that Indian parents are unwilling or unable to discuss sex-related topics with their children. Our findings suggest that despite communication barriers, e.g., lack of knowledge and cultural proscriptions, Indian families are interested in and willing to communicate about sex-related topics. Future research should seek to determine the viability of family-based HIV prevention interventions for Indian adolescents.

Objective: This study examined knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and correlates of AD knowledge in a sample of Chinese American older adults living in the Phoenix metropolitan area of the United States. Methods: Survey data were collected from 385 Chinese Americans age 55 or older (M = 72.43, SD = 8.67) recruited from various settings not limited to senior housing facilities, senior clubs, senior centers and church groups. Results: Participants responded to a 24-item true/false AD knowledge scale with 73 % accuracy. Multivariate regression analyses found that participants who held more traditional Chinese cultural beliefs of AD tended to have less AD knowledge. Older women had more knowledge of AD than men when educational differences were controlled. Participants who used media to acquire AD information had more AD knowledge than those did not. Conclusions: AD educational programs should target domains (e.g., risk factors, symptoms, and caregiving) about which Chinese American elders tend to have less knowledge; AD information should be disseminated through appropriate media to outreach Chinese American elders more effectively. Addressing the biases in elders’ cultural beliefs of AD should be incorporated in AD educational programs.

Objective

Drawing on the Stress Process Model, this study examines cancer caregiving in Albania. We used conditional process analysis to test the relationship between psychological distress and quality of life through social support and to examine whether gender moderates pathways in this mediation model.



Methods

Face-to-face interviews were conducted with a non-probability sample of 377 caregivers from the public oncology service. Standardized measures were selected based on psychometric properties and cross-cultural adequacy; all had good internal consistency.



Results

Participants reported high levels of psychological distress, moderate social support, and poor quality of life. Compared with men, women had higher levels of distress, worse quality of life, and comparable levels of support. Men were more likely to be caring for a spouse and to rely on friends, while women also cared for others and relied more on family. Social support mediated a strong negative relationship between psychological distress and QoL. These pathways did not differ by gender.



Conclusions

Cancer is increasing rapidly in developing countries, where family caregiving is the preferred and often only option for long-term, intensive care. This study points to high risks for psychological distress and reduced quality of life, especially for female caregivers in Albania. Findings further highlight the importance of social supports an as avenue for prevention and intervention to improve quality of life for both men and women. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Psychological distress, social support, and quality of life among cancer caregivers in Albania.

This study uses data from the 1982-84 National Long-Term Care Channeling Demonstration to model the additive and interactive effects of health-related and social stressors and coping resources on self-reported depressive symptoms of frail, elderly African American (n = 900) and Hispanic (n = 146) women. Older white women are included as a reference group. Results indicate that older African American women report fewer depressive symptoms than their white counterparts in the study and that symptom levels reported by older Hispanic and white women did not differ. Parallel regression analyses revealed that physical illnesses, perceptions of unmet need, and low sense of control were common predictors of depressive symptoms for all three groups and that there were also unique predictors for each group.
