Funded Activity Summary
Caring for older parents: Investigating the role of attachment security. The project aims to investigate the relationship between child–parent bonds and care for older parents. Children of older parents provide extensive and often unrecognised care to thousands of Australians, and many report excessive burden. The project aims to investigate how attachment bonds between adult children and older parents influence the parental care provided by children in later life, the carer burden and parents’ satisfaction with care; and the effects of enhancing carers’ attachment security on caregiving interactions and carer burden. This project is expected to provide insights into strategies to strengthen family bonds and services required to support caregivers and care recipients and improve the sustainability of aged care in the community.Funded Activity Details
