Abstract
Introduction:Latinx Millennial caregivers are an understudied minority group in the United States. Due to life stage and cultural values, these caregivers struggle to balance conflicting priorities with career, family, and caregiving. They also face systemic barriers and healthcare disparities.Methods:Participants ( N = 29) were recruited locally and nationally. Qualitative data were collected using five focus groups and one individual interview. Interviews were analyzed by seven coders using thematic analysis with an inductive approach.Results:Meta-themes included (a) the Latinx experience with culture, immigrant status, and structural barriers; and (b) being a super caregiver: being everything to everyone. Additional main themes were identified including family well-being, occupational and financial well-being, social support dynamics, challenges and rewards of family caregiving, and coping strategies.Discussion:Clinical interventions for Latinx Millennial caregivers should address cultural background, value of family/community, and systemic barriers for care and support.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
