"I've been always strong to conquer any suffering:" challenges and resilience of Chinese American dementia caregivers in a life course perspective.

Objectives: This study investigated the resilience of a growing but largely underserved and understudied population-Chinese American dementia caregivers, whose experience is embedded in their development throughout the life span, process of migration, and sociocultural contexts.

Method: Narrative data were collected from in-depth interviews with 27 Chinese caregivers in New York City. Based on the hybrid grounded theory model, a three-steps coding procedure was implemented to identify themes emerged from the data.
