Abstract:

As older couples age, often one partner becomes more competent and able to care for the other, in which case they are able to remain in their homes. In one township in the northeastern United States, the caregiving role had a significant effect on the lives of elderly men who care for their wives. The purpose of this quantitative project study was to determine the relationship between perceived stress burden and perceived level of social support services and between perceived stress burden and use of support services by elderly male spousal caregivers residing in active adult communities.

Abstract:

<p> Providing direct caregiving for a loved one is emotionally difficult, and it can be uniquely challenging for male spousal caregivers. As men adjust to their new roles, they are faced with caregiver burdens, which can present complications mentally, physically, and financially. Therefore, the purpose of this project was to develop a grant proposal for a male caregiver support group for older adult caregivers within the greater Long Beach, CA area. The proposed program, entitled the Sure Project, would help caregivers decrease their stress, increase their coping abilities, and provide resour

Thesis advisor: Kathleen McInnis-Dittrich<br>A vast amount of caregiving literature focuses on the well-being of caregivers of older adults, and is primarily focused on the experiences of caregiving women who have traditionally assumed this role.

Abstract:

This thesis presents an account of the experiences and practices of a group of primary caregiving fathers in the UK. It fills a gap in the academic literature on fatherhood in relation to an under-researched yet apparently increasing group of men. Drawing on descriptions of their engagement in paid work, housework and childcare practices, and engagement in the public sphere, this thesis argues that the practices of primary caregiving fathers across these three areas are indicative of shifts in ideas about , and experiences of, contemporary fathering. These primary caregiving fathers are not ne

BACKGROUND: Qualitative research has suggested that spousal carers of someone with dementia differ in terms of whether they perceive their relationship with that person as continuous with the premorbid relationship or as radically different, and that a perception of continuity may be associated with more person-centered care and the experience of fewer of the negative emotions associated with caring. The aim of the study was to develop and evaluate a quantitative measure of the extent to which spousal carers perceive the relationship to be continuous. METHODS: An initial pool of 42 questionnai
