项目摘要

The purpose of this fellowship is to develop clinically-oriented research skills that will enable the investigator to conduct a cross- cultural and methodologically sophisticated research study which examines positive aspects of caregiving in family caregivers of the elderly persons with dementia. Specific objectives of this methodological study include: (1) Compare the Finding Meaning Through Caregiving Scale (FMTCS), a measure of positive aspects of caregiving, in three family caregiver groups (N=300): Koreans lining in Korea, Korean-Americans, and Whites. (2) Test the following hypotheses: (a) Compared to White caregivers, Korean caregivers living in Korea and Korean-American caregivers will report lower mean levels on the FMTCS Loss/Powerlessness Subscale, and higher mean levels on the FMTCS Provisional and Ultimate meaning Subscales. (b) Korean caregivers living in Korea will report lower mean levels on the FMTCS Loss/Powerlessness Subscale, and higher mean levels on the FMTCS Provisional and Ultimate Meaning Subscales, than Korean-American caregivers living in the United States of America. (3) Use item response theory to analyze the nature of positive caring experiences by cultural group. (4) To further understand the quantitative results of the specific object (3), use qualitative data from a subsample of family caregivers (n=15).

该奖学金的目的是发展临床导向的研究技能，使研究人员能够进行交叉- 文化和方法复杂的研究，审查了在家庭照顾者的积极方面，老年痴呆症患者。本方法研究的具体目标包括： (1)通过护理量表（FMTCS）发现意义在三个家庭照顾者中，组（N=300）：在韩国排队的韩国人、韩裔美国人和白人。 (2)检验以下假设： (a)与白色照顾者相比，居住在韩国的韩国照顾者和韩裔美国护理人员将报告FMTCS的平均水平较低丧失/无力子量表，FMTCS的平均水平较高临时和最终的意义分量表。 (b)生活在韩国的韩国护理人员将报告较低的平均水平， FMTCS丧失/无力子量表，以及 FMTCS临时和最终意义分量表，比韩裔美国人照顾者生活在美利坚合众国。 (3)运用项目反应理论分析积极关怀的本质文化群体的经验。 (4)为了进一步了解具体的定量结果，研究目的（3），使用家庭照顾者的质性资料（n=15）。
