Placement is predominantly with grandmothers, and the experiences of grandmothers in a parenting role have been well reported. The experiences of grandfathers who parent grandchildren, however, are less understood, despite grandfathers often being present. This integrative review aims to identify and integrate current literature on the experiences of grandfathers in a parenting role. The search strategy involved four electronic databases: CINAHL Complete, Scopus, PubMed and PsycInfo, plus Google Scholar and hand searching using keywords based on five key concepts encompassing the population group (custodial, grandfather), phenomenon (role), and outcome (perceive, experience). Thirteen articles were identified that met the inclusion criteria for review. Two themes were identified using thematic analysis: ‘Change and loss in transitioning to the primary caregiver role’ and ‘Everyday life as grandparent primary caregivers.’ This review found grandfathers who parent grandchildren faced unique challenges. Social role identity was tested by loss of agency over lifestyle choices and deficits in parenting knowledge and skillset. Furthermore, the health and wellbeing of grandfathers were impacted by factors unique to them. Further research to inform tailored support specific to the needs of grandfathers is required.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging Studies","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 101329"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143882137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on ethnographic fieldwork among professional caregivers in home-based care in Norway, we present a case of an ethical dilemma that occurred during a patient visit. Using a narrative ethics approach, we unpack the case into six “stories” and show the context of the ethical dilemma. Home-based care staff may not be aware of an ethical dilemma as it unfolds. Reflection on the case leads us to suggest that staff would benefit from some form of clinical ethics support to learn, share stories, and receive support. We also suggest that professional caregivers and patients would benefit from advance care planning as a way to clarify expectations between patients and healthcare professionals. Clinical ethics support and advance care planning are ways for staff and patients, respectively, to let their voices and stories be heard.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging Studies","volume":"73 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143783825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This framework provides a multilevel perspective on age, mapping the sociocultural structures in which age is embedded and exerts its influence, as well as the dynamics that are established between them, allowing for an analysis of the relationship between age-based structures and age-related practices.

This qualitative study employs individual in-depth interviews, focus groups, and observations to collect data. We interviewed 26 informants and observed the operation of five Carer Cafés. Key findings indicate that support networks are deeply integrated with the organization's norms, influencing social interactions in terms of frequency, duration, outward focus, and collaboration. Caregivers benefit from various forms of social capital derived from the Carer Café's networks, which provide enduring support beyond the café setting. While the support networks have extended to the community, they remain embedded in the organization. This embeddedness helps staff take note of caregivers' situations and facilitates the flow of assistance from organizations to caregivers.

Survey data collected from 201 ordained Roman Catholic senior priests (between ages 50–93) revealed high levels of life satisfaction and satisfaction that was positively correlated with age, spiritual transcendence, and self-rated health. In addition, the combination of gerotranscendence predictors explained a statistically significant amount of the variance in life satisfaction, even when controlling for age, spiritual transcendence, and overall health. The coherence domain of gerotranscendence outperformed all other predictors in our model, suggesting that this may be an especially salient predictor of life satisfaction in aging priests.
