“…The evaluation of several equivalences, the detailing of the steps and the methodological rigor are also highlighted in other studies that used the same reference to adapt instruments (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) .…”

“…It is the most widely used tool to assess attitudes of filial responsibility and has been validated in North America and in samples with Asians (19)(20) . The scale is composed of five items that assess aspects related to attitudes such as living close to parents, having room for parents to live with, willingness to care for parents, financial help, living near or visiting parents in old age.…”

Approval: 01-27-2017 ABSTRACT Objective: To carry out a cross-cultural adaptation of the Filial Responsibility protocol for use in Brazil with adult child caregivers for elderly parents. Method: A methodological study that included the steps of initial translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, committee of experts, pre-test, evaluation of psychometric measures and submission to authors. The protocol comprises a qualitative step, closed questions and seven scales: Filial Expectation, Subsidiary Compassion, Caregiver burden, Life Satisfaction, Personal Well-being and Quality of Relationships. Results: The final version in Portuguese was applied, through a pre-test, to a sample of 30 caregivers for elderly parents. In order to verify internal consistency, we used Cronbach's alpha coefficient: Filial Expectation (α = 0.64), Filial Duty (α = 0.65), Satisfaction with Life (α = 0.75), Personal Wellbeing (α = 0.87). Final considerations: The Brazilian version presented good conceptual and face equivalence. The results demonstrate that the concepts used in the Canadian protocol are applicable in the Brazilian context. Descriptors: Validation Studies; Aging; Caregivers; Elderly; Geriatric Nursing.

Método: Estudo metodológico que compreendeu as etapas de tradução inicial, síntese das traduções, retrotradução, comitê de especialistas, pré-teste, avaliação das medidas psicométricas e submissão aos autores. O protocolo é composto por uma etapa qualitativa, questões fechadas e sete escalas, entre elas: Expectativa Filial, Piedade Filial, Sobrecarga do Cuidador, Satisfação com a Vida, Bem-Estar Pessoal e Qualidade dos Relacionamentos. Resultados: A versão final em português foi aplicada, por meio de pré-teste, a uma amostra de 30 filhos cuidadores de idosos.

“…Filial responsibility, the notion that adult children will care for their elderly parents, has an extensive history dating back to the Elizabethan Poor Relief Act of 1601. Empirical research has examined this notion mostly with regard to attitudes of and burdens placed on the caregivers (Butler, Turner, Kaye, Ruffin, & Downey, 2005;Dellmann-Jenkins & Brittain, 2003), with some work done on the circumstances of and motivations for caring for aging parents (Caputo, 2002;DellmanJenkins & Brittain, 2003;Stein et al, 1998).…”

In the past few decades, psychology–law as a discipline has made great strides in understanding and guiding public policies on issues related to eyewitnesses, confessions, juries, judges, juveniles, the mentally ill, and many others. As a field, we have largely neglected the oldest subset of the population, with only a few scholars focusing specifically on elder issues or systematically including elders in their studies. The current article is a call to research. It first outlines why elders should be considered as a specific subset of the population even though they have not been an area of focus in the field. Second, the article provides suggestions for integrating elder issues into more common psychology–law research as well as some new areas for research. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…A major concept in the social science research on families and aging is filial responsibility, which is conceptualized as a societal attitude toward adult children's duty to meet the needs of aging parents (Lee, Netzer, & Coward, 1994;Stein et al, 1998). Both parents and adult children acknowledge the existence of filial responsibility as a societal expectation.…”

Emotional Bonds and Social Support Exchange Between Men Living With HIV Infection and Their Mothers

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Men infected with HIV are often faced with caregiving responsibilities of aging, ill parents, while simultaneously looking for support from their parents in dealing with their own health problems. Unfortunately, the reciprocal roles of HIVpositive adult sons and aging mothers as caregivers have not been examined. To address this gap in the literature, HIV-positive men (n = 118) answered open-ended questions about the support they exchanged with their mothers, completed the Depth of Relationships Inventory, and rated the importance of health-related assistance between themselves and their mothers. The men viewed themselves as important providers of both instrumental and emotional support to their mothers. Men perceived their mothers to be significant providers of emotional support but only moderately important in providing instrumental support. About a third of the men responded that the help they provided and received from the mothers in managing each other's health and staying healthy was extremely important. Men regarded their relationships with their mothers as one of their most important social relationships. Non-White men rated the quality of their mother-son relationships more highly, exchanged more instrumental support, and provided more emotional support to their mothers than White men. Men who disclosed their HIV-positive status to their mothers rated the importance of the help they received from their mothers in managing their illnesses higher than men who had not disclosed.
