Abstract
This project proposal aims to explore the ways social workers can assist Hispanic adult children (AC) to find satisfaction with their role as caregivers for their older adult (OA) and family of their own, given the growth in the Hispanic population more services and interventions are needed to meet the needs of the Hispanic community. The primary objectives of this proposal are to identify social work interventions that align with Hispanic cultural values throughout different generations. And to explore the benefits and the positive aspects of caregiving for an older adult. A mixed-methods approach will be used, combining a demographic survey and a follow-up interview questionnaire incorporating an adaptation of the Positive Aspects of Caregiving (PAC) scale. Expected outcomes include better understanding of the Hispanic adult children caregivers needs and social work interventions needed to support adult caregivers through culturally appropriate interventions.
