摘要
This study is based on a screening and in-depth interview with each of 114 grandparents who provide daily care to their grandchildren. Three categories of caregivers emerge from the data: grandparents whose grandchildren live with them and with whom they have a legal relationship, grandparents whose grandchildren live with them but with whom there is no legal relationship, and grandparents whose grandchildren do not live with them but for whom they provide day care. Questions about the impact of providing care on the caregivers' lives reveal effects in four categories: changes in lifestyle, changes in relationships with friends, changes in relationships with family, and changes in relationships with spouses. These effects differ according to the type of care provided.
