在这篇文章中，我们探讨的心理过程，通过越南家庭照顾者调整他们的角色，主要照顾他们的亲属痴呆症。本研究采用建构主义扎根理论方法，收集数据，30个面对面的，半结构化的访谈与20个自我认定的主要照顾者的老年痴呆症在越南。核心的调整过程，包括四个阶段（经验，承认，实验和接受[EAEA]），以适应角色出现的数据。EAEA过程强调了自我感知，自我感知为重点的战略，并接受照顾者的重要性，并建议调整过程中，他们的“成为自我”的照顾。EAEA过程反映在与照顾者个人因素（与照顾对象的人口统计学和关系特征，个人信仰和承诺，以及个人的历史，以及应对过去的逆境）和结构性因素（文化价值观和规范，社会支持和社会压力）的交易关系。
In this article, we explore the psychological process through which Vietnamese family caregivers adjust to their role as primary caregivers for their relatives with dementia. The study adopted a constructivist grounded theory approach to collect data with 30 face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with 20 self-identified primary caregivers of older adults with dementia in Vietnam. The core adjustment process, consisting of four stages (Experience, Acknowledgment, Experiment, and Acceptance [EAEA]), to caregiving role emerged from the data. The EAEA process highlights the importance of self-perception, self-perception focused strategies, and acceptance of caregivers and suggests an adjustment process to their "becoming self" in caregiving. The EAEA process was reflected in the transactional relationship with caregiver personal factors (demographic and relational characteristics with care recipients, personal beliefs in and commitments to caregiving, and personal history of caregiving and coping with past adversity) and structural factors (cultural values and norms, social support, and social pressure).
