Caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other forms of related dementias are blood relatives, friends, and neighbors who provide essential care for those they love who are living with severe cognitive impairments as well as varying degrees of physical limitations. According to Robertson, Zarit, Duncan, Duncan, Rovine, and Femia (2007) caring for family members affected by dementia can be very demanding and these family caregivers have been reported to experience negative outcomes. These outcomes associated with family care giving include stress, strain, and burden, in addition to, physical and mental health problems. In 2010, the US Census Bureau indicated that 20 percent of the US population aged sixty-five and older was a racial or ethnic minority. This demographic shift in age and racial composition represents a critical challenge to older African Americans as a growing body of evidence suggests that African Americans may have a greater risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) compared to the non-Hispanic white population (Barnes & Bennett, 2014). In 2016, the Alzheimer's Association estimated 5.2 million Americans age 65 and older have AD and indicate that this number is more than likely to increase to 13.8 million by the year 2050 (Alzheimer's Association, 2016).A quantitative study was conducted to investigate self-reported caregiving experiences of older African American primary family caregivers of care recipients with ADRD. A sample of (N = 42) self-identified African American primary caregiver participants aged 50 to 88 years was recruited from the Greater Hampton Roads area of Virginia. The Neuman Systems Model (Neuman & Fawcett, 2011) was used to guide the study, and an adapted version of Pearlin's Caregiving and Stress Process Scale, designed to capture caregiving in Alzheimer's disease and other related dementias, was used to measure stressful caregiving situations identified in the family/client system.The study revealed that a sizable portion of older African American primary family caregivers felt they lack adequate family and social support in their daily demands of dementia caregiving. However, the majority of the participants reported their religious/spiritual beliefs enabled them to better cope with the caregiving experience.
