Dementia caregiving: the experiences of Hispanic/Latino caregivers.

The purpose of this study was to explore the phenomenon of dementia caregiving in an ethnically diverse group of Latino caregivers, with the goal of identifying cultural influences on the caregiving experience. This qualitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study used Leininger's ethnonursing approach. There were more similarities than differences in this multiethnic sample of Latino caregivers in understanding of dementia symptoms, beliefs about the caregiving role, and in the factors affecting ongoing care.
