“…Many papers [34][35][36][37][38][39] used the definition provided by Gladwell 3 (back cover), "that magic moment when an idea, trend or social behavior crosses the threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire"; but other similar definitions were evident. Examples included: "the point of no return; the critical juncture", 40 (p. 15); "the dramatic moment when something unique becomes common", 41 (p. S12); "a critical threshold", 42 (p. 600); "the point at which the change achieves critical mass", 43 (p. 300); "the one dramatic moment when everything can change all at once, 44 (p. 3); and "a social revolution", 45 (p. S28). The expression "enough is enough" was used to define tipping point, 46 (p. 5) which lent support to also considering colloquial definitions in this analysis.…”

Aim Analyze the concept “tipping point” in the older adult family caregiving context to further knowledge about caregiving families, enhancing transdisciplinary theory, research, and practice. Background While used commonly in some disciplines, how “tipping point” has been used in health care, generally, and in relation to caregiving families, specifically, is less clear. This project was conducted to offer conceptual clarity to tipping point. Design Walker and Avant's framework. Data Source Searches of scholarly literature in PsycINFO, CINAHL, and PubMed using the search term “tipping point” in either title or abstract. Review Methods Definitions used were extracted; instances when the concept was implied but the actual term “tipping point” was not used and contexts where the term was used or implied were identified. Results The composite definition of a caregiving tipping point is a seemingly abrupt, severe, and absolute change event involving either the older adult or caregiver(s), or both that indicates a breakdown in the status quo of the caregiving system. Conclusions Transdisciplinary research, care, and policy should treat caregiving families as complex systems, use longitudinal assessments, and include colloquial communication. Early detection of impending tipping points will provide family‐centered decisional support and enhance families’ quality of life and safety.
