Résumé : | Importance: Asian-Americans are more likely than other ethnic groups to care for older family members and less likely to seek mental health services. The research on caregiver burden among Asian-American intergenerational caregivers is limited. Objective: To investigate how spirituality and mental health help-seeking attitudes correlate with and predict perceived feelings of caregiver burden among Asian-American caregivers. Favorable mental health help-seeking attitudes were predicted to negatively correlate with caregiver burden, and spirituality was predicted to negatively correlate with and negatively predict caregiver burden. Design: Quantitative survey research. Setting: Community mental health. Participants: One hundred one participants were recruited using the following inclusion criteria: Asian-Americans who currently or previously provided care to an Asian family member at least one generation older than the caregiver for at least 1 mo and in the past 3 yr. Outcomes and Measures: Items from the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers, Spirituality Scale, Expressions of Spirituality InventoryRevised, Mental Help Seeking Attitudes Scale, and Self-Stigma of Seeking Psychological Help measured caregiver burden, spirituality, and mental health help-seeking attitudes. Results: A statistically significant negative correlation was found between caregiver burden and spirituality and between caregiver burden and mental health help-seeking attitudes. Spirituality and number of domains of care were statistically significant predictors of caregiver burden. Conclusions and Relevance: Spirituality was found to negatively predict caregiver burden among Asian-American intergenerational caregivers. Mental health help-seeking attitudes were negatively correlated with caregiver burden. Occupational therapy practitioners have the opportunity to integrate spirituality and culturally sensitive mental health promotion into their services to Asian-Americans. What This Article Adds: Evidence that spirituality is a negative predictor of caregiver burden for Asian-American intergenerational caregivers offers a unique opportunity for occupational therapy practitioners to offer alternative methods of mental health promotion with this population. Understanding that spirituality and mental health help-seeking attitudes are culturally mediated allows practitioners to be informed about a dynamic in Asian-American culture. Higher levels of spirituality and more positive mental health help-seeking attitudes were correlated with lower levels of self-reported caregiver burden in a survey of Asian-American caregivers. |
