Abstract:

In this hermeneutic phenomenological study, a purposive sample of 12 religious women considered their experiences of religiosity with their mothers and larger family systems. Adult daughters reflected on the significance and meaning of religion in their lives and relationships, particularly the interaction of mothers and adult daughters concerning spirituality, beliefs, and experiences including intergenerational transmission of religiosity. Adult daughters were queried regarding maternal religious influence and the challenges of being women. Data were collected to saturation and analyzed to consider individual narratives about families into the development of three themes: Family Connections, Religious Consciousness, and Encountering Community. Gilligan's theory of moral development, including the ethic of caretaking, is employed to consider religiosity in the adult daughter-mother relationship. Limitations, clinical implications, and future directions are explored. Ph. D.

Abstract:

Research into the phenomenon of compulsive hoarding has only been conducted during the last twenty years. To date, no studies have been done that examine the impacts of compulsive hoarding on young and grown children. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore what the positive and negative impacts on children or adult children are. Twelve women, each identifying themselves as an adult child of a compulsive hoarder completed a qualitative questionnaire via email. Participants were recruited through membership in the internet support group, “children of hoarders”. All participants identified their mother as the compulsive hoarder. Three distinct themes emerged over three distinct time periods. The first time period begins with early childhood and continues through adolescence. The second begins with the time they first moved away from home. The third starts with the end of the second and continues through to whatever age they are today. The first theme's focus was the participants' feelings as associated with their mother's hoarding. The second theme dealt with a need to understand what “normal” is. The third theme was the means they use/used to cope with the situation. Clinical implications include support for using systems theory, ambiguous loss and attachment frameworks. This study also provides valuable information relevant to participants need to normalize their experiences. Master of Science

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the social organisation of advice, as it unfolds in interactions between mothers and their young adult daughters on the telephone. The analysis is based on a corpus of 51 telephone calls from 5 different families. Advice giving is studied here using the methods of conversation analysis and discursive psychology. The main interest has been to consider the dimensions that are relevant to the potentially tricky action of advice giving, building on the dimensions of normativity and knowledge asymmetry that have already been identified in the literature. The less strictly institutionalised context studied here provides a relatively new arena for considering the array of issues that are relevant to advice giving. Indeed, this has provided a broad scope for specifying how recipiency is brought off in advice giving sequences and how the position of advice recipient is managed. The analysis begins by considering the different forms of advice that were found in the data and their affordances in terms of the recipient s next turn. Contingency is identified as an important dimension in advice giving and a range of resources are identified which build contingency into the advice in various ways and which provide the recipient with different degrees of optionality when responding to advice. The thesis then goes on to consider how recipients respond to advice and the sorts of issues that make relevant one response type over another. The analysis identifies the importance of affiliation and alignment when considering different types of advice response. Furthermore, it is shown that morality, activity type, and alignment to the recipient s position, are important features of why a particular response type is chosen over another. The final analytic chapter then considers how the potentially tricky action of advice giving is made relevant in the first place. It is shown that the choice between different forms of advice is related to local issues of entitlement and contingency. In considering these different components to advice giving, the analysis explicates an array of important issues in advice giving sequences including: knowledge asymmetry, normativity, entitlement, contingency, affiliation, alignment and morality as well as considering evidence to suggest that advice is a dispreferred action. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for studying advice and promoting advice acceptance, as well as considering how we can begin to see relationality being constituted.

Abstract:

A father's abandonment of his minor daughter can leave an indelible impression on her psyche -- one that can forever affect her intimate romantic relationships. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore where women who were abandoned by their fathers prior to the age of 18 are today as adults in terms of their intimate romantic relationships and how they develop and engage in these relationships. The research questions examined how a daughter being abandoned by her father prior to the age of 18 relates to where she is today in her adult intimate romantic relationships and what meanings participants attach to relationships and relationship satisfaction as a result of their childhood experiences. Theories of social constructionism and psychosocial development grounded the study. After a review of the literature, data were collected through screening questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with a purposeful sample of 8 women. Each interview was transcribed and the data examined for themes. Key findings indicated that the effect of a daughter being abandoned by her father prior to the age of 18 affects her adult intimate romantic relationships. Results also indicated the psychosocial stage at which she was abandoned affected how she viewed men in her adult relationships as it effects whether she builds trust or mistrust, autonomy or shame and doubt, initiative or guilt, industry or inferiority, identity or role confusion. When the stage is not met, the basic virtue of each stage (hope, will, purpose, competency, fidelity) may be lacking or lost. Positive social change is implicated through this collection of qualitative data that can inform practitioners and researchers, foster therapeutic treatment, and help shed light on and ameliorate the effects of the phenomenon of paternal abandonment of daughters prior to the age of 18.

Abstract:

Obesity and overweight attributable deaths together are the second highest cause of death in the United States, according to the National Institute of Health. Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease also have an enormous economic cost to the American government and its citizens due to the rising cost of health care. The medical community agrees that preventive care, particularly diet, plays a crucial role in solving this health crisis. The Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 drastically changed the requirements of the National School Lunch Program in order to increase nutrition in school lunches. This thesis seeks to understand how improved health outcomes for children as well as adults. This paper analyzes previous research from the fields of Health and Behavioral Economics. It also conducts an empirical analysis of data from the California Health Interview Survey to understand the effects of the policy food on consumption of children and adults. Using theories from Behavioral Economics, the study hypothesizes that child and adult consumption of nutritious food increased following the implementation of this policy. The results of the empirical analysis do not entirely support the hypothesis that children’s and adult’s consumption of nutritious food increased. Food consumption is highly sensitive to a wide range of influences, and further empirical research accounting for these influences must be conducted to fully understand the potential benefits of public policy on health.

O relacionamento entre pais e filhos adultos, especialmente entre mãe e filha adulta, representa uma área recente e ainda pouco investigada. A literatura, ao tratar deste relacionamento complexo, usualmente apresenta uma delas como dependente e a outra como cuidadora. Entretanto, há um momento em que estas duas mulheres compartilham uma condição similar: quando ambas são adultas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar, descrever e analisar o relacionamento entre mães e suas filhas adultas destacando os aspectos que promovem os encontros e desencontros entre elas e a influência do casamento das filhas nas relações com suas mães. Na história do relacionamento entre mãe e filha observamos mudanças que promovem momentos de separação e aproximação, dependência e independência entre elas, o que sofre a influência da família. As atividades compartilhadas e o processo de comunicação, assim como a cooperação, a influência mútua e a percepção que mãe e filha adulta têm do seu relacionamento, são aspectos desses encontros e desencontros. Nesta dinâmica, mãe e filha compartilham similaridades e diferenças, apresentam comportamentos recíprocos e complementares que podem gerar conflitos cuja resolução está associada ao movimento de auto-revelação e privacidade presentes no relacionamento. Finalmente, apesar dos desencontros, mãe e filha procuram valorizar as sistuações que propiciam a manutenção da relação devido à importância da relação para ambas. Personal relationships are at the basis of society and are fundamental to direct our behavior. The relationship between parents and adult children, particularly between mother and adult daughter, represents a recent and poorly investigated research area. The literature about this complex relationship usually presents one of them as dependent and the other as a caregiver. However, there is a moment when these two women share a similar condition: when both are adults. This work aimed at investigating, describing and analyzing the relationship between mother and their adult daughters emphasizing the aspects promoting their getting close or getting apart and the influence of the daughters' marriage in their relations with their mothers. In the history of relationship between mother and daughter we observe changes which promote instances of separation and proximity, dependece and independence between them, what is influenced by family. The shared activities and the process of communication, as well as the cooperation, mutual influence and the perception that mother and have of their relationship are related to getting close or getting apart. In this dynamics, mother and daughter share similarities and differences, apresent reciprocal and complementary behaviors wich may give rise to conflicts, whose solution is associated with self-revelation and privacy, present in the relationship. Finally, despite sometimes getting apart, mother and daughter try to emphasize the situations which keep their relationship due to its importance for both.

Ravelo, Gira J. "Associations of HIV Risk Behaviors among Older Latinas and their Adult Daughters." FIU Digital Commons, 2017. https://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/3494.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the associations between adult Latina daughters’ HIV risk behaviors and that of their older Latina mothers’ HIV risk behaviors. The central hypothesis of the study is that adult Latina daughters’ influence their older mothers’ behaviors and that such behaviors interact with the level of their attachment. Older Latinas are a vulnerable population that face cultural risk factors, health care provider bias, and engage in low rates of HIV testing. The primary mode of HIV infection for Latinas is through heterosexual contact. Yet, traditional gender norms such as marianismo belief place pressure on Latina women to be submissive to their partners, disregard their infidelities, and not attempt to negotiate condom use, increasing the risk of HIV infection among Latinas via heterosexual sex with their primary partners. Efforts by the CDC to increase HIV testing have emerged as a critical part of HIV prevention. However, research has indicated that older Latinas are less likely to speak to a health care provider about safe sex practices or HIV testing than their younger counterparts. Despite health care providers having strong influences over Latinas’ decisions to perform health related tests, physicians are not endorsing HIV testing for their older patients. This in part, leads to a disproportionate number of late stage diagnoses among older adults. Evidence suggest that adult daughters are a source of support and assistance in health-related issues for their aging mothers and are uniquely positioned to influence their mothers’ health-related behaviors and decisions. Additionally, mother-daughter attachment has been found to be a protective factor to other risky health behaviors. The present study (1) Examined the association between recurrent HIV risk behaviors of adult Latina daughters and those of their older Latina mothers and (2) examined the moderating effect mother-daughter attachment have on those associations. No statistical significance was found in examining the association between adult Latina daughters and their older mothers, nor was attachment found to be a moderator on those associations. Findings show culture may be the significant factor influencing the lack of association between adult Latina daughters and their older mothers. Results add to the literature and scientific field of social work and public health. Additionally promoting studies on cultural barriers that may exist in adult Latina daughter and older mother upward communication as techniques to promote healthy behaviors among older Latinas.

Abstract:

Most girls in Gopher Slough, Florida, worry about whether GSHS will win the next football game (they won't), when their boyfriends will take them muddin', and how many times they can sneak cigarettes behind the bleachers before they get thrown into in-school suspension. Libby Hoyer is not most girls. Instead, Libby is worried about her slipping grades, especially in Geometry, where she can barely keep her head up long enough to take the weekly quizzes. She's concerned about losing her friendship with her best (only) friend, Bobbi Jo, who's distracted with her own Aber-zombie boyfriend, and she's unsure of how to define her new relationship with Neil, a mysterious boy from her class who is not as carefree as he pretends to be. Libby is also troubled by the fact that she can't seem to remember her distant father, even though he only left five years ago. Everyone else, it seems, is worried about Libby's sporadic eating habits. If she continues to refuse to eat or to purge anything she's forced to eat, she might disappear. But Libby isn't afraid of disappearing. She's afraid of being seen.

Abstract:

Though the phenomenon of young adults moving in with their parents is not a new one, it is one that has certainly become more common in recent decades. A new life stage of 'emerging adulthood' has become the norm, in which young adults delay marriage and career jobs in order to pursue other goals. This stage is, in part, marked by fluidity in residence. Yet even as a growing number of 'boomerang kids' move back in with their parents, there is a gap in the research regarding this phenomenon's effect on various parts of the family system. This study set out to address this gap by comparing separate interviews from young adult boomerangs and their parents. Findings suggest a disparity between parental and young adult opinions on a variety of topics, most notably: expected household responsibility, parent/child closeness, loss of autonomy, and appreciation. However, similarities emerged regarding the parental home as a safe haven, the arrangement as providing financial security, and the fact that all adult children reported being ready to move out. Ideally, the findings presented here will help illuminate both the similarities and disparities in the experiences of parents and their young adult children who return after launch, in order to increase empathy and promote a healthy family system.

Full text

Abstract:

Caring for a loved one with anorexia nervosa has been demonstrated to be a stressful experience. There is a growing literature attempting to understand the experiences of parents who are carers; however, to date the views of fathers have been underexplored relative to those of mothers. In addition, theories of AN discuss or imply the importance of interpersonal factors, but have progressed without sufficient data on the involvement of fathers. This study sought to explore the experiences of fathers caring for a daughter with AN, using a qualitative approach. Method: A constructivist grounded theory methodology (Charmaz, 2006) was used to generate a new explanatory model from fathers' descriptions of their experiences, whilst openly considering the influence of context. Ten fathers were interviewed about their experiences caring for an adult daughter with AN; nine were recruited from a specialist regional eating disorder unit and one was recruited via a voluntary organisation, b-eat. Results: Fathers from the unit reported being involved in care-giving, and experiencing significant levels of distress, on a par with what has previously been reported for mothers. Fathers' distress appeared particularly linked to their daughter's loss of ability to reason clearly, leading her to resist family and expert treatment advice. This distress was associated with fathers' models of AN as a mental illness involving a failure of logic, which appeared heavily influenced by the unit's prevailing 'medical model'. In contrast, the father from b-eat viewed AN as a struggle with control and resisted hospital authorities. He was distressed at being left out while his wife did most of the care-giving. All fathers expressed significant distress, but also concealed or minimized their emotional experiences, either more or less deliberately. Conclusion: Since some fathers are highly involved in caring for daughters with AN, clinicians should not assume this role is adopted predominantly by mothers. Fathers regularly conceal the extent of their emotional distress, and may require special consideration by services to enable them to be more candid. Fathers' methods of involvement in care-giving appear derived from the model of AN they adopt, so it is important to understand fathers' illness beliefs and to include fathers' perspectives in theories of care-giving and of AN. Since fathers initially feel ignorant of AN and are very anxious, they can be heavily influenced by the views of those regarded as experts. This has consequences for the way they attempt to help their daughters recover, which has the danger of forming part of an emotionally invalidating system involving the family and services. A systemic perspective on adult AN appears important if the best care is to be delivered.

Abstract:

In Canada, divorce is an important individual and societal issue. With 38% of all marriages projected to end in divorce before their 30th wedding anniversary (The Vanier Institute of the Family, 2004) and half of all divorces involving dependent children (Statistics Canada, 2005) it is not surprising that the short and long term repercussions of experiencing parental divorce is of concern to researchers, practitioners, and families alike. Previous research has suggested that experiencing divorce can have a wide array of consequences on close relationships (Amato, 2003), one of which is parent - child relationships. Divorce has the potential to impact parent - child relationships throughout the life course for both children and their parents (Booth & Amato, 1994; Cooney & Uhlenberg, 1990; Lye, Klepinger, Hyde, & Nelson, 1995; Zill, Morrison, & Coiro, 1993). Consequentially, the importance of understanding parent - child relationships within the biographical context of parental divorce, and their entire relational history, is becoming increasingly apparent. The present study examines whether a model of parent - child interactions within the context of the entire relationship outlined by Lollis and Kuczynski (1997) is useful in examining and understanding the current adult daughter - nonresidential father relationship. In order to accomplish this, interviews were conducted with 9 women who experienced parental divorce in childhood and who were between the ages of 19-24 at the time of interview. Analysis borrowed from a biographical (Rosenthal, 2004) and grounded theory approach (Glaser & Strauss, 1967; Strauss & Corbin, 1994). Results indicate the presence of themes of relationship construction, in particular relational damage, repair and maintenance within the daughters' accounts. Therein, the research provides empirical support for the usefulness of Lollis and Kuczynski's (1997) model. Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Graduate

Santos, S. "Adult daughters of mothers who struggled with anxiety : moving out of home." Thesis, City, University of London, 2018. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/20403/.

Full text

Abstract:

Most research focussing on being a child of an anxious mother is deficit-focussed. The exploration of children’s possible benefits and positive experiences have been neglected. Such research has not considered the influence of maternal anxiety on children’s developmental stage. Emerging adulthood (occurring between the ages of 18-25 years) has been regarded as a potentially vulnerable developmental stage due to high incidence of mental health problems and risk behaviours during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The transition of moving out of home often occurs during this stage. It presents opportunities for individuation, psychological growth and adult-to-adult interaction. Attachment, parental mental health and psychosocial competence are some factors found to affect adaptation to transition. The mother-adult daughter dyad is of particular interest in relation to this area as it has the greatest interdependence and connection amongst all familial relationships. This study therefore aimed to gain a narrative of the experiences of moving out of home in adult daughters whose mothers struggled with anxiety. Eight participants shared their experiences through semi-structured interviews. Interview transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Four superordinate themes emerged: feeling stuck, from togetherness to separation, what is out there and identity. Findings reflected the journey of each participant, from feeling restricted at home to deciding to move out; to actioning their decision but with both mother and daughter struggling with the separation process; to flourishing in their new environments through developing their identity, independence, autonomy and social networks. Clinical implications relate to identification of key areas for exploration in therapeutic work with adult daughters and/or their anxious mothers. Consideration is also given to links with wider networks to promote wellbeing in these individuals following transition.

Abstract:

The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between father involvement, nurturant fathering, and the psychological well-being among young adult women. A total of 99 young adult, female, university students completed retrospective measures of nurturant fathering, father involvement, and measures of current psychological well-being (measured in terms of self-esteem, life satisfaction, and psychological distress). Results indicated that retrospective perceptions of both father involvement and nurturant fathering were positively correlated with daughters' current levels of self-esteem and life satisfaction. Perceptions of expressive involvement, and nurturant fathering were found to have the strongest relationship with self-esteem and life satisfaction. Results, however, did not indicate any significant correlations between fathering measures and daughters' current psychological distress. Together, the results of the present study provide several important implications for future father-daughter research and the field of marriage and family therapy.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether or not a father’s absence has an impact on how adult daughters view intimate partners and how they choose their intimate relationships. While most previous research focused on the importance of the father/daughter relationship on a daughter’s sexual development, there is limited research that reveals the importance of the father/daughter relationship on women’s adult intimate relationships. The present study was conducted with 15 adult women who volunteered to participate in the study. The results revealed that father’s involvement in their daughter’s lives throughout their childhood can influence their intimate relationships in adulthood. The factors associated with father absence during childhood can stay with individuals as they enter into adulthood, which shows the significance for early intervention. Even though most of the participants mentioned having a fear of abandonment and becoming too attached, there is still potential for fatherless daughters to have healthy fulfilling and lasting relationships. Implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

A vulnerable group in society is people with ASD (autism spectrum disorders) or autism. This group seems to increase, mainly due to genetic factors but also environmental problems. Medical research has accelerated in the U.S. and Europe. The biggest problem for people with disabilities is the inability to communicate, both verbally and socially. Parallel communication is growing strongly, a technique that can help these people much, if only there were an adaptation to the needs. There are already technical communication aids developed for people with autism. But they do not seem to fit the target group's communication needs well enough. These aids are designed to handle a superficial communication and people with autism do not understand this type of communication at all. People with ASD would rather appreciate the deeper relationships that can support them on important issues, such as to clarify the context for them are hard to understand. E.g. "inside" and "beyond" could tell that there are a number of houses behind them closer to the houses. They need a different type of support and this support must be provided by close caregivers. Closely support by caregivers seems to be essential for successful development. In other words, they do not have the extensive list of contacts that are in their communication tool today. In my theses, I look primarily at the core needs behind the communication of people with autism. But I also present a design proposal in the form of some sketches on the basis of these needs. The reason for focusing on the analysis is that the majority of existing technical communication aids never seems to have questioned the basis for the decisions shaping the design, i.e. the real needs of the people with ASD. Too often wrong design decisions seem to be made mainly due to an incorrect analysis. Several functions ought to coincide in a single tool that can support the people with ASD to talk, think clearer thoughts, to reflect, formulate an opinion and dream. I would like them to reach deeper thoughts than was possible so far. The features are not new but the combination is. I count to seven features which I consider to be crucial for my result: “Emphasized transfer”, “transparency”, “structure à la Talking Mats”, “imaging”, “digital camera”, “the real meeting”, and “caregivers as important role models”. The communicators should be geographically close to each other and carry one’s own portable technical communication aids, their “BeAKKta”, the name of this design proposal. My result identifies needs of disabled people in their communication, and gives suggestions on how to respond to those needs by presenting different sketches from an analysis. The sketches show up a new design for this communication tool, both in terms of form and function. Lovisa, my daughter and her communication problem is the origin of the trials and she is also the one who gave me both insights and inspiration. Personer med autism är en utsatt grupp i samhället – en grupp som tycks öka främst på grund av genetiska faktorer men också på grund av miljöfaktorer. Den medicinska forskningen intensifieras både i USA och i Europa. Det största problemet för dessa funktionshindrade handlar om en oförmåga att kommunicera, såväl verbalt som socialt. Parallellt utvecklas kommunikationstekniken starkt, en teknik som skulle kunna hjälpa dessa personer avsevärt om bara det fanns en anpassning till deras behov. Det finns ju visserligen redan tekniska kommunikationshjälpmedel utvecklade för personer med autism. Det är bara det att dessa fortfarande inte passar målgruppens behov av kommunikation särskilt väl. Hjälpmedlen är konstruerade att hantera en mer ytlig kommunikation, det vill säga en kommunikationsform som personer med autism inte använder, än mindre förstår sig på. De vill ofta istället ha en djupare relation som kan stötta dem i viktigare frågor. Det kan till exempel handla om att reda ut huruvida det finns ett ”inuti” och ett ”bortom”; att det finns många hus bortom dem som man kan se närmast. Att se stora sammanhang är nästintill obegripligt för dem. Här behövs verklig hjälp och stöttningen bör förmedlas av en nära vän. Den omfattande kontaktlista som nuvarande kommunikationshjälpmedel tillhandahåller, står alltså inte högt i kurs. I mitt magisterarbete tittar jag framför allt på de centrala behoven bakom kommunikationen hos personer med autism. Men jag presenterar också ett designförslag i form av några enklare skisser med utgångspunkt i just dessa behov. Anledningen till att fokus ligger på analysskedet är att flertalet hittillsvarande tekniska kommunikationshjälpmedel aldrig tycks ha ifrågasatt grunden till de beslut som formar designen det vill säga behoven hos de funktionshindrade personerna. Alltför ofta tas fel designbeslut på grund av en grundlös analys. Flera funktioner sammanfogas här inom ett och samma hjälpmedel som kan stödja de funktionshindrade att tala, tänka klarare tankar, att reflektera, formulera sin åsikt och att drömma. Jag vill att de ska nå djupare tankar än vad som hittills varit möjligt. Funktionerna är identifierade men finns inte inom ett och samma hjälpmedel. Sju funktioner sammanfogas inom ett och samma hjälpmedel: ”Betonad överföring”, ”överblickbarhet”, ”struktur à la Talking Mats”, ”bildhantering”, ”digitalkamera”, ”reellt möte” samt ”närstående som viktiga förebilder”. Båda parter bör befinna sig geografiskt nära varandra och båda måste ha med sig sin egen ”BeAKKta”. Jag identifierar kommunikationsbehoven hos personer med autism och ger förslag på hur behoven skulle kunna mötas genom analys och skisser. Resultatet blir en ny design som sammanför tidigare förvisso identifierade funktioner, varav dock fåtalet utvecklats med tanke på den digitala tekniken. Lovisa, min dotter och hennes brist på kommunikationsförmåga, är upprinnelsen till mitt försök och det är också hon som givit mig både insikter och inspiration. Phone number: 46709981048

Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to examine adult attachment relationships among a group of college students and their parents. Two attachment hypotheses were tested: The mental model hypothesis for attachments with parents and romantic partners and the compensation hypothesis for attachment with God. Hypothesis 1 attempted to determine if there was agreement between parents and children about a self-reported attachment style. Support was found as students and parents had a significantly higher level of agreement when reporting a secure style of attachment between them, with sons being significantly highest. Hypothesis 2 examined agreement on attachment style between generations: Children's report of attachments to parents and parents' report of attachment to their parents. Results indicated that parents' reporting a secure style of attachment to their parents was significantly higher with their same gender parents. Hypothesis 3 produced two 15 x 15 correlation matrices including measures of romantic attachment and religiousness for children and parents. In general, further validity for measures used is provided in numerous expected correlations. Anxious and avoidant romantic attachment styles and desperate love were significantly positively related and were often negatively related to a secure style of attachment. Results indicate significant relationships between fathers' and children's (particularly daughters') romantic styles. The only significant correlation for mothers and sons was on religiousness; however, mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, as well as mothers and fathers were all significantly positively correlated on religiousness. Hypothesis 4 results indicated that when there was disagreement with fathers on attachment style, children scored higher on a measure of religiousness, supporting the compensation hypothesis. Hypothesis 5 found that children with secure attachments to both parents and mothers with high importance of religion also scored significantly higher on importance of religion, supporting the mental model hypothesis. Overall, this study suggests that the mental model and compensation hypotheses do not compete, but rather, coexist in different contexts, perhaps with mediating events that discriminate between the two processes.

Abstract:

This case-control study compared the caregiving experience of adult daughters of parents with and without dementia who resided in the community. A synthesis of diverse theoretical perspectives, developed by the researcher, provided direction for this study. The data used in the analysis were drawn from the 1991-92 Canadian Study of Health and Aging. A representative sample of 106 daughters of parents with dementia and 45 daughters of parents without dementia provided information regarding the context, stressors, and the level and correlates of depressive symptomatology associated with provision of care to parents. Daughters of parents with dementia tended to be slightly older, single or widowed, co-resided with their parent and used more formal care services when compared to daughters of parents without dementia. Differences between groups were also found regarding the stressors they experienced while providing care. More specifically, daughters of parents with dementia assisted with more personal and instrumental care. Their parent's functional status was more impaired and they contended with more behavioural disturbances and experienced greater burden than daughters of parents without dementia. There were no statistical differences between groups with respect to mean scores on the CES-D scale. However, fully one quarter of daughters of parents with dementia and one fifth of daughters of parents without dementia achieved scores indicative of at least a mild level of depressive symptomatology. Finally, self-reported health, health interferences, the need for additional formal care services and feelings of caregiver burden were associated with depressive symptoms for both groups of daughters. In addition, for daughters of parents with dementia, depressive symptoms were associated with the provision of personal care tasks, behavioural disturbances and the functional status of parents.

Abstract:

This study utilized a phenomenological approach to describe the experience of living in a three-generation household after an adult daughter's divorce for members of each generation--divorcing mothers, grandparents, and grandchildren. Topics addressed included: characterizations of divorcing mother-parent relationships and grandparent-grandchild relationships, redefinition of relationship boundaries, and positives and negatives associated with this living arrangement. Divorcing custodial mothers in three-generation households were recruited from a mandated parent education program for divorcing parents in southeastern Arizona. At least one member from each generation in the household participated. Interviews were conducted with 25 individuals in eight families (eight divorcing mothers, nine grandparents, eight grandchildren). Data analysis followed Giorgi's (1985) technique. Results suggested that the redefinition of relationship roles and boundaries (intimacy issues) and the resolution of power issues led to positive relationships and experiences. In the one family doing poorly, numerous instances illustrated the divorcing mother's lack of power within the household. The divorcing mother-parent relationship boundaries had become more hierarchical since coresiding, and the grandparents had overstepped the boundary between "parent" and "grandparent." The resulting tension caused stress for all generations. In the four families who fell between doing poorly and well, the renegotiation of intimacy boundaries had positive effects in terms of improved relationships since coresiding. Power boundaries were still being renegotiated. Again, divorcing mother-parent relationships had hierarchical boundaries, and grandparents had crossed the line between parenting and grandparenting. However, in these families, this may have been due to the divorcing mothers' negative reactions to their separations. In such situations, having grandparents temporarily take on parenting functions for some period of time may be beneficial. These grandparents did express a desire to return to less hierarchical relationships and become more of a "grandparent" than "parent." In the three families doing well, intimacy boundaries did not require renegotiation because the relationships had always been close and supportive. These families were the only ones to describe the value of extended families and family activities. When power issues did arise, family members handled them quickly. Although there was some grandparental. interference in discipline, these grandparents were viewed as "stereotypical" grandparents.

Abstract:

A case study analysis was used to investigate the changes in the lives of adult daughters when they became primary caregivers to parents with Alzheimer's disease. This research also explored beliefs, feelings, and perceptions of participants about their role. Based on in-depth and face-to-face interviews with 21 adult daughters and two daughters-in-law, this study argues that although intergenerational caregiving is accepted as a part of membership in families, it is also a source of family disharmony and conflicts. Family nursing is considered a burden based on the length of service. The scope of the changes in the lives of adult daughters/caregivers ranges from living arrangements, family relationships, young children, personal affairs, social activities, employment and economics, health of caregiver to religion. Although caring for AD patients is rigorous, highly stressful, and filled with demanding challenges, the findings of this study show that a majority of adult caregivers would do it all over.
