Overview

This analysis identifies caregiving subgroups in Mexican American families, revealing influences on perceived stress among caregivers.

Key Points

  • Caregiving subgroups impact perceived stress levels in Mexican American caregivers of older adults, indicating diverse family dynamics.
  • Caregivers in the Moderate Burden/Non-cohabitating subgroup reported significantly less stress compared to the Elevated Burden & Health Risk group.
  • Latent class analysis identified four caregiving subgroups based on older adults' needs and caregivers' characteristics across cultural contexts.
  • Multilevel factors, including nativity and health status, shape caregiving patterns, suggesting targeted support strategies for multicultural families.
