“…It was identified as a culturally sensitive model for dementia care (Daire & Mitcham-Smith, 2006) and was found to predict caregiving consequences (Shyu & Lee, 2002). Similar findings were also reported in studies conducted in Western countries (Beach 1993;Carmack, 1997). In this study, finding a balance point did not directly influence the difficulty felt in performing the caregiving role.…”

Greater attention, support, and consultation should be directed at caregivers with low mutuality, less preparedness, and less balance between competing needs. Specifically, family caregivers with low mutuality are at risk of higher role strain and more depressive symptoms. Those in such a category should be identified and should receive intervention as early as possible. Interventions to enhance family caregiver preparedness should be developed to increase caregiving rewards and to improve caregiver mental health.

“…The overwhelming majority of caregiving research has focused on the experiences of the primary caregiver (usually a woman), neglecting examination of other family members, particularly grandchildren (Beach, 1993, 1997; Brakman, 1998; Miller & Montgomery, 1990; Mui, 1995; Piercy & Chapman, 2001; Young & Kahana, 1989). This omission is tragic, because 31% of caregiving adult children have children under the age of 12 and 23% have children between the ages of 12 and 17 (Hirsch, 1996; National Center of Health Statistics, 1987; Stone, Cafferata, & Sangl, 1987).…”

Although previous literature has demonstrated the importance of age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status in understanding grandparent–grandchild relationships, additional factors contribute to a more complete and nuanced understanding of multigenerational relationships. Thorough understanding of the role of diversity requires examination of the discrete impacts of grandparents’ gender, sexual orientation, and physical and/or cognitive limitations on the relationship. This article focuses on these 3 important, yet overlooked, issues of diversity, with a focus on strength-based and empowerment-oriented strategies and their implications for practice, policy, and future research.

“…• carers' ability to care is often not assessed (Beach, 1993; Jivanjee, 1994; Howe & Schofield, 1996) and consequently skills are developed largely by trial and error (Stewart et al. , 1993) or `passive' learning (Harvath et al.…”

Stroke is one of the major causes of disability in the United Kingdom and considerable numbers of stroke survivors need help and support from family carers. The sudden and unexpected nature of stroke means that there is very little time for family members to prepare for a caring role. This paper draws on data from 37 interviews with 14 new carers of stroke survivors and highlights the uncertainty and lack of confidence that family members experience in adopting a caring role. During the initial period following the stroke carers engage in a number of different 'seeking' activities in order to try and ensure that they feel competent, confident and safe to provide care and that they understand the likely future demands they may face. Rather than being facilitated by staff, carers' efforts often go unnoticed or are overlooked, resulting in carers feeling that they are 'going it alone'. Staff need to be more aware of carers' 'seeking' behaviour and actively encourage the formation of partnerships with family members.
