This qualitative study examines how Chinese only-children in the United States define transnational caregiving and their responsibilities as transnational caregivers. We recruited  \n322 Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2  \nparticipants through social media and conducted semi-structured online interviews with 25 Chinese only-children in the U.S.  \nwho had experience providing transnational care or were currently planning care for their aging parents in China. Most of the participants were female (68%), had a graduate degree (92%), an average age of 36.5 and an average stay of  \n11.2 years in the US. Using interpretive phenomenological analysis approach, we identified seven dimensions of transnational caregiving: (1) bridging healthcare information gaps between the two countries,(2) purchasing and mailing medical supplies,(3) providing emotional support through daily greetings and frequent video calls,(4) prioritizing self-care to reduce parents’ worries,(5) educating and promoting healthy behaviors to prevent illnesses requiring intensive care, (6) offering financial support, and (7) coordinating long-distance care arrangement and provider communication. These findings advance theoretical understandings of caregiving in global contexts by illustrating how transnational caregiving extends beyond traditional frameworks of caregiving through the case of Chinese only-children in the U.S. The study sheds light on how geographical distance reshapes caregiving roles, emphasizing the need fora broader conceptualization of caregiving that incorporates digital communication, cross-border healthcare gaps and resource management.","cbCainyRkSbA7iPq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainyRkSbA7iPq","pdf",640358,"English","# Family Caregiving: Policy and Practice\n## Sole Caregiving from Afar: Unpacking Transnational Caregiving Among the Chinese One-Children in the U.S.\n## Study Purpose and Research Focus\n## Study Design and Participant Recruitment\n## Key Findings: Seven Caregiving Dimensions","[{\"question\":\"What gap does the study address about transnational caregiving?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses limited understanding of how Chinese only-children abroad conceptualize and navigate their caregiving roles, despite growing transnational caregiving research.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants recruited and how many were interviewed?\",\"answer\":\"Participants were recruited through social media, and semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 25 Chinese only-children in the U.S.\"},{\"question\":\"What seven dimensions of transnational caregiving were identified?\",\"answer\":\"The study identifies seven dimensions: bridging healthcare information gaps, purchasing and mailing medical supplies, providing emotional support, prioritizing self-care, educating for healthy behaviors, offering financial support, and coordinating long-distance care and provider communication.\"},{\"question\":\"How does geographic distance change caregiving roles according to the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The findings show that caregiving extends beyond traditional frameworks by incorporating digital communication and cross-border healthcare gaps, along with resource management from afar.\"}]","Sole Caregiving from Afar - Unpacking Transnational Caregiving Among the Chinese One-Children in the U.S. | PDF",1790640695]
