Abstract
The stress and burden experienced by the family caregiver during the caregiving experience has been widely researched and established among the literature. Limited research exists on the impact of cultural values, religiosity and family caregiving on the caregiver's positive appraisal of caring for a dependent elderly family member. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the influence of cultural values and religiosity on the positive appraisal of caregiving among African American, Hispanic and Caucasian caregivers for dependent elderly family members. A predictive correlational study design was employed to examine the relationship amongst variables for 69 African-American, Hispanic and Caucasian family caregivers that reside in southeastern Louisiana.
