Practices, perspectives, and psychological wellbeing among South Asian family caregivers in the US

In our sample, SA caregivers primarily live with the older generation family member they care for. Although less than half of the participants desire to live with family beyond their spouse in the future, currently providing in-home care increased likelihood of wanting similar care. Importantly, caregiver stress/strain strongly increased desire to live alone/with spouse. These findings suggest that caregiver wellbeing influences desires for future care, potentially resulting in perspectives that are not in-line with cultural values. As such, culturally tailored interventions are recommended to meet everyday care needs.
