Purpose: To explore cultural factors related to resilience among Black/African American Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) partner caregivers.
Method: This study used a qualitative design. An adapted Resilience Framework informed the in-depth interviews with 10 Black/African American ADRD partner caregivers.
Results: Four major themes emerged: Unfolding Process of ADRD Discovery, Resilience is Multifaceted in Caregiving, Resilience is an Adaptive Process, and Cultural Heritage Shapes Caregivers' Resilience Experiences. The major themes include a total of 18 subthemes.
Conclusion: Findings provide an in-depth understanding of how race, ethnicity, and cultural positive adaptive factors influence resilience among diverse ADRD partner caregivers. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 18(1), 21-28.].
