摘要

在跨国家庭中为父母提供照顾，会使移民在做出移民和回国移民决定时付出巨大的心理代价。相关的压力和减轻情感负担的制度使跨国照顾老人的工作变得更加复杂。最近，斯里兰卡的技术移民人数不断增加，这通常是一种逃避现实的手段，这为满足留守老人的护理需求带来了独特的挑战。我们的研究探讨了 10 名来自斯里兰卡的技术移民如何尝试提供跨国护理。研究结果显示，移民采用了许多传统和新颖的应对机制，这些机制反过来又促成了他们的回国决定。

Caring for elderly parents while living away: Sri Lanka’s professional and skilled emigrants

Providing parental care within transnational families poses significant psychological costs for migrants in their migration and return migration decisions. The facilitation of transnational elderly care is complicated by associated stressors and mediated by systems that ease the emotional burden. The recently growing skilled emigration from Sri Lanka, often as a means of escapism, poses unique challenges in navigating the care needs of the left-behind elderly. Our study explored how 10 skilled migrants from Sri Lanka attempted to provide transnational care. Findings revealed that emigrants resorted to many conventional and novel coping mechanisms, which in turn, mediated their return decisions.

期刊介绍： The Asian and Pacific Migration Journal (APMJ) was launched in 1992, borne out of the conviction of the need to have a migration journal originating from the region that would provide a regional perspective of migration. Users will be able to read any article published from 1992 to 2006, to search all the articles by words or keywords and to copy or print partially or fully any article.
