I combined phenomenological and feminist approaches to capture older women's own description of their Alzheimer's disease (AD) caregiving experience. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 14 women who were 60 or older and cared at home for their spouses diagnosed with AD. Data were analyzed using a modified version of Colaizzi's method. Five major themes were found to define the fundamental structure of these women's experience. Here I address only findings pertaining to the fourth theme: making sense of the situation. These findings reveal aspects unique to older women's/wives' AD caregiving experience. |
