“…The caregiving experience is intricately linked to its contextual surroundings [ 24 ]. While the literature extensively examines the social, cultural, and policy contexts, there is a noticeable gap in the exploration of the neighborhood context [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Residential settings can vary widely, from private housing estates to traditional village communities, each presenting unique challenges and resources for the family caregivers.…”

Thailand’s rapid population aging and reliance on family-based long-term care requires research into disparities in family caregiver burden. Since the type of residence matters to the caregiving outcome, this research aimed to examine the difference in caregiver burden between residents of private housing estates and traditional village communities. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 1276 family caregivers of community-dwelling Thai older adults, in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. The caregiver burden was examined using the Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI), and the care recipients’ dependency status was examined using Barthel’s Activity of Daily Living (ADL). Descriptive analysis, multivariate analysis of variance test, and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed. Family caregivers living in a traditional village community were 1.607 times more likely to experience emotional burden (adj. OR 1.607, 95% CI: 1.049, 2.462) and 2.743 times more likely to experience overall caregiver burden (adj. OR: 1.163, 95% CI: 1.163, 6.471) compared to those in the private housing estate group. Our findings showed significant differences in caregiver burden based on residential area, contributing with insights to evidence-based policies, interventions, and programs to minimize disparities and promote family caregivers’ health and well-being.

“…In Latinx culture, familism, the high importance of a bond among members of a family, cements life-long relationships, provides considerable strength in adverse environments and has been shown to be a protective mechanism against stressors (Umaña-Taylor et al, 2011). In various reviews, familism either shows no association with caregiver burden, or lower degrees of burden (Maximiano-Barreto et al, 2022; Tian et al, 2022). This may indicate that in households with a culture of familism, more time spent between caregiver and recipient can be beneficial for the recipient, and less harmful for the caregiver.…”

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on informal caregiving was examined in a Mexican American (MA) and Non-Hispanic White (NHW) population-based cohort. 395 participants age > 65 years were recruited via door-to-door and phone recruitment as part of the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi-Cognitive (BASIC-C) project. Both recipients and caregivers answered questions regarding the recipient’s health and the COVID-19 pandemic. 15% of caregivers saw their caregiving recipient less than before the pandemic and 18% saw their recipient more than before. 55% of caregivers reported a slight to severe impact of the pandemic on their caregiving, and 45% reported no impact. For most caregivers, their caregiving role did not change markedly during the pandemic. MA and NHW caregivers had similar survey responses.
