摘要本研究旨在探讨家庭义务与宗教信仰对非裔美国人、西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人老年人家庭照顾者对照顾的正面评价的影响。Roy的适应模型指导了目标的制定和研究设计。采用横断面相关研究设计来检验家庭照顾者参与者变量之间的关系。研究参与者（N = 69）完成了人口统计工具和四种工具：(1)Katz指数，(2)义务量表，(3)杜克大学宗教指数，(4)积极评价护理量表。家庭义务与照顾的积极评价有显著相关。然而，家庭照顾者的宗教信仰与总体上对照顾的积极评价之间没有关系。人口统计变量也被检查，以显示西班牙裔主要照顾者的较高边际平均值与照顾的积极评价有关。未来的研究应考虑在更大的样本中复制这些发现，为卫生保健专业人员提供实质性证据，以纳入旨在促进积极结果和健康家庭行为的文化敏感干预措施。(C) 2014 Mosby, Inc.版权所有。
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between family obligation and religiosity on the positive appraisal of caregiving among African-American, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Caucasian family caregivers of older adults. Roy's adaptation model guided formulation of the aims and study design. A cross-sectional, correlational study design was employed to examine the relationship amongst variables for the family caregiver participants. Study participants (N = 69) completed a demographic tool and four instruments the: (1) Katz index, (2) obligation scale, (3) Duke University religion index, and (4) positive appraisal of care scale. There was a significant correlation between family obligation and positive appraisal of caregiving. However, there was no relationship between the family caregiver's religiosity and positive appraisal of caregiving overall. Demographic variables were also examined to show a higher marginal mean for Hispanic primary caregivers in relation to the positive appraisal of caregiving. Future studies should consider replicating these findings in a larger sample to provide health care professionals with substantial evidence to incorporate culturally sensitive interventions aimed at promoting positive outcomes and healthy family behaviors.
