This paper discusses the results of an exploratory study of a sample of 20 older parents who lived with and provided care to adult children with serious mental illness. A majority of the parents reported high levels of social support from relatives and friends, and appeared to be coping adequately with the stress associated with their caregiving activities. Scores on two social support measures were inversely related to three measures of caregiving distress. Most of the parents had made no concrete plans or arrangements for the future care of their seriously mentally ill children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
