For example,“differences and inconveniences experienced as Korean-Americans living in the US”was only from Korean-Americans, whereas “feeling disappointed and regretful toward family”emerged exclusively among Korean participants. This study deepens our understanding of both the differences and similarities in the dementia experiences of Korean-American and Korean family caregivers, who share a cultural heritage but live in distinct societal contexts. The findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive, family-centered approaches to dementia care that address the unique challenges faced by caregivers in different settings.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.3583  \nEXPERIENCES OF DEMENTIA CAREGIVING AMONG  \nKOREAN AMERICANS AND KOREAN FAMILY  \nCAREGIVERS IN A CULTURAL CONTEXT  \nJi Yeon Lee1, Kyung Hee Lee2, Eunhye Hong2, Jing Wang3, and Bei Wu4, 1.

This study aimed to explore how family dementia caregiving experiences were shaped by cultural and societal contexts among Korean-American and Korean caregivers. This international collaborative qualitative study was conducted in the US and South Korea. Participants were family dementia caregivers who provided care to community-dwelling older adults. Researchers interviewed two groups of 11 Korean-Americans in New York and three groups of  \n14 Koreans in Seoul. Semi-structured interviews explored challenges in dementia care, familial and personal changes due to dementia care, and the impact of culture and social resources on dementia care. Four layers of themes emerged:“Ongoing challenges within the current cultural context,” “support and limitations of the social system,”“the dynamics of family relationships,”and “the","cbCaicqqKv4ZzalA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicqqKv4ZzalA","pdf",942681,"English","# Study background\n# Aim and research design\n## Participants and setting\n## Interview focus\n# Findings and themes\n## Ongoing challenges within the current cultural context\n## Support and limitations of the social system\n## Dynamics of family relationships\n## Impact of culture and social resources\n# Implications for culturally sensitive dementia care","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s main goal in examining dementia caregiving experiences?\",\"answer\":\"The study explores how family dementia caregiving experiences are shaped by cultural and societal contexts among Korean-American and Korean caregivers living in different environments.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"A qualitative international collaborative study interviewed family dementia caregivers who provided care to community-dwelling older adults, including Korean-Americans in New York and Koreans in Seoul.\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of topics did the semi-structured interviews cover?\",\"answer\":\"Interviews focused on challenges in dementia care, familial and personal changes caused by caregiving, and the influence of culture and social resources on caregiving.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do the authors emphasize culturally sensitive, family-centered dementia care?\",\"answer\":\"Results highlight both shared and culturally unique caregiving challenges, showing that effective dementia care must address different caregivers’ specific needs across settings and social systems.\"}]","Experiences of Dementia Caregiving among Korean Americans and Korean Family Caregivers in a Cultural Context | PDF",1790642043]
