这项研究的目的是描述照顾有健康问题的孙子孙女对祖父母的背景和影响。研究样本包括391名年龄在55岁或以上的非裔美国人祖父母。Logistic回归分析显示，有精神或行为问题的孙辈的祖父母照顾者比没有或其他类型健康问题的孙子孙女的祖父母照顾者更有可能对他们的健康(AOR=7.86，p=0.008)和休闲(AOR=14.31，p=.024)产生负面影响。这些发现强调了支持非裔美国人祖父母照顾者的必要性，特别是那些抚养有心理健康问题的孙子孙女的人。
The aim of this study was to describe the context and impact of caregiving for grandchildren with health concerns on grandparents. The study sample comprised 391 African American grandparents aged 55 or older. Logistic regression analysis indicated that grandparent caregivers of grandchildren with psychiatric or behavioral problems were more likely to experience a negative impact on their health (AOR = 7.86, p = .008) and leisure (AOR = 14.31, p = .024) than grandparent caregivers of grandchildren with no or other types of health problems. The findings underscore the need to support African American grandparent caregivers, particularly those raising grandchildren with mental health problems.
