“…From the total of 20 studies analyzed, 17 studies showed that adult children are very inclined and comfortable to provide financial assistance to their aging parents as it is the easiest form of support, and according to Canda (2013) it is the main element of filial piety in a family. This statement is consistent with the study by Brasher (2021); Aires et al (2019); Peng et al (2019); Lee et al (2018); Gruijters (2018); Adnan et al (2020); Polenick et al (2017) that adult children tend to provide financial support with the sense of responsibility, respect, love and affection for parents (Tan et al, 2019). Adult children at their career peak tend to have high commitment and job advancement.…”

“…Based on the same analysis showed that adult children are less likely to provide intangible alimony such as socializing, exchanging views or spending time with aging parents; similar findings from the study done by (Fingerman et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2017;Evandrou et al, 2017Aires et al, 2019). According to Hassan et al (2013), aging parents desperately crave assistance and emotional support from their children.…”

The gradually increase of life expectation within ageing society will have an impact on the burden and dependent on children in terms of care, health needs, emotional and social support as well as finances from adult children is the most important factor in the survival of the elderly. This article aims to explore the tangible and intangible alimony to aging parents among adult children. Articles retrieved related to the concept of tangible and intangible alimony to the older person were identified through Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). The findings of this SLR found that 20 articles related to the theme of older person alimony could be extracted as the majority of the articles concentrated on tangible support. The main research gap that emerges is that the aging parents long for intangible support such as emotional support, social activities, biopsychosocial and health information, chit-chat and companionship to avoid loneliness. This phenomenon appeared post COVID-19 pandemic when most aging experience loneliness and depression. This article proposes that community-based intangible support can be utilized in urban and rural areas in an Asian setting. Further research is need to study how intangible support elements for older parents can be successfully implement through the family and community based social work approach.

“…André (2018), filial piety is increasingly recognized to be one of the crucial concepts that can explain salient differences between Chinese and Anglo cultures. St. André also contended that filial piety is strongly and almost exclusively associated with Chinese societies, although many scholars (e.g., Aires & et al, 2019;Park, 2015) have claimed that filial piety also exists in other (usually Eastern Asian) cultures. Filial piety is an important cultural mechanism that mediates caregiving perceptions and practices in Confucian cultures (Ikels, 2004).…”

Chinese Migrant Workers’ Care Experiences: A Model of the Mediating Roles of Filial Piety

Filial piety is a highly relevant cultural mechanism that mediates the impacts of caregiving experiences on Chinese adult children, worldwide but perhaps especially in rural China. We undertook qualitative research with 24 migrant workers who were caring for an elderly parent diagnosed with terminal cancer. Research aims included building a comprehensive explanatory theoretical model for filial piety’s mediating role in caregivers’ lived experiences. We undertook a culturally sensitive Foucauldian discourse analysis of data, which showed that filial piety can not only function as a positive resource but also (mainly) translate to a requirement for secrecy, including about an ill parent’s prognosis and the need for support for caregivers. The findings challenge the extent of this secrecy and the burdens it places on caregivers. Policy makers should take account of the importance of filial piety and its mediating role both as a resource and hindrance to providing support to caregivers.

“…The high incidence of at‐home caregiving for people with dementia in Taiwan could depend on the cultural importance of filial piety, with adult children feeling personally responsible for caring for their ageing and ill parents (Miyawaki, 2015). Filial piety is important to motivating family caregivers to continue providing care (Aires et al., 2019). Dementia caregiving is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes, including greater depression and worse health‐related quality of life (Crellin et al., 2014).…”

Aims The “Finding a Balance Point” framework was used to explore the caregiving process over time for family caregivers of people with dementia in Taiwan. This study aimed to: (a) identify Taiwanese caregivers’ different balance trajectories; (b) explore predictors of trajectory group membership; and (c) examine associations of different balance trajectories with caregiving outcomes. Design A correlational longitudinal design was used. Methods Data were collected from 200 family caregivers’ self‐completed questionnaires and they were followed over 2 years (June 2015–May 2017). Discrete balance trajectories were identified by group‐based trajectory modelling. Predictors of trajectory group membership were identified from potential predictors of caregiving characteristics and caregiving factors using multivariate logistic regression. Associations of trajectory groups with caregiving outcomes (depressive symptoms and health‐related quality of life) were explored using the generalized estimating equation. Results Balance trajectories best fit a two‐group trajectory model (poor and good). Caregivers with a poor sense of balance between competing needs were more likely to have more depressive symptoms (b = 11.71, 95% CI [9.04, 14.38], p < .001), worse physical health (b = −6.22, 95% CI [−8.71, −3.74], p < .001), and worse mental health (b = −11.1, 95% CI [−13.58, −8.63], p < .001) than caregivers with a good sense of balance. Caregivers experiencing lower role strain (b = −1.45, SE = 0.48, p = .003) or higher predictability (b = 2.83, SE = 0.76, p < .001) were more likely to belong to the good‐balance group. Conclusions Caregivers with poor balance between competing needs are more likely to have worse caregiving outcomes. Role strain and predictability significantly predicted balance trajectory groups. Family caregivers with lower caregiving task difficulty and/or better knowledge of the care receiver were more likely to be in the good balance trajectory group. Impact Our findings support the framework, “Finding a Balance Point,” and clarify the family caregiving process for people with dementia. This framework could be used to tailor interventions for home care nurses to improve family caregivers’ caregiving outcomes.
