Determinants of Caregiving Subgroups for Mexican American Caregivers Assisting Older Adults at Home and Their Influence on Perceived Stress
Patterns of family caregiving of older adults have been identified based on aspects such as care-related tasks and intensity and are associated with caregiver well-being. A gap remains, however, in understanding how individual-, relational-, and cultural-level factors concurrently inform caregiving groups within multicultural families. In this study, we identified caregiving patterns among Mexican American individuals aiding older adults by drawi…
Clinical Factors and Social Determinants of Health Predict Elder Mistreatment at Two Years Among Older Adults
Low rates of screening for elder mistreatment preclude early detection and harm reduction. No validated tools currently exist to identify elder mistreatment with high sensitivity. We developed, internally validated, and tested a preliminary prediction model to improve elder mistreatment screening of older adults. This retrospective observational study used 20% national Medicare Fee-for-Service claims data for the logistic regression and machine l…

Support Seeking Tactics Used by Family Caregivers of Relatives With Dementia
Social support for family members who care for a relative with dementia can mitigate caregiving burden. Yet, in that evidence points to these caretakers as often experiencing isolation and loneliness while providing dementia-related care, a need remains to better understand factors contributing to their adverse support experiences. Accordingly, this study applies sensitive interaction systems theory (SIST) to examine how caregivers’ direct versus…
Reflections on Dementia-Related Stigma and Direct Support Seeking by Family Caregivers as Mediating Associations Between Caregiver Stress, Burden, and Well-Being
The demanding nature of caring for relatives with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) can lead to family caregiver burden and poor health. The stigmatization of people with ADRD can also impact caregivers’ stress, while their support-seeking strategies may mitigate negative impacts of burden on their health. To examine hypothesized relationships, the present study considered whether different dimensions of ADRD family stigma influenc…
The enactment of relational maintenance when Guatemalan parents are forcibly separated from their families due to deportation
This study examines how parents deported to Guatemala from the United States (U.S.) use relational maintenance strategies to preserve relationships with their family living in the U.S. In a context of forced separation where family reunification is severely constrained, this study considers economic, social, and cultural impacts on individuals’ abilities to engage in relational maintenance. Interviews conducted in Guatemala with parents having pr…
