照顾患有痴呆症的老年亲属被认为是一项压力大、具有挑战性的义务，家庭中的妇女不成比例地承担着这一义务。对拉丁裔照顾者的研究往往集中在家庭主义的文化价值如何塑造照顾者的期望和经验。然而，这些研究往往不区分家庭主义作为意识形态和家庭主义作为实践，以评估如何照顾可能会或可能不符合规定的文化脚本，也不检查家庭照顾者使用的护理伦理。通过对一个第二代女儿的案例研究，我们探讨了护理伦理的细微差别，这些伦理构成了她的成长经历，以及尊重不同文化使命的努力所产生的紧张关系。
Caregiving for elderly relatives with dementia is described as a stressful and challenging obligation that disproportionately befalls women in families. Studies of Latina caregivers tend to focus on how the cultural value of familism shapes caregiving expectations and experiences. However, these studies tend not to distinguish between familism as ideology and familism as practice to evaluate how caregiving may or may not conform to prescribed cultural scripts nor to examine the ethics of care utilized by family caregivers. Through a case study of a second-generation daughter, we explore the nuances of an ethics of care that constitute her caregiving experiences and the tensions generated by efforts to respect divergent cultural mandates.
