Thesis (Ph.D.)--Arizona State University, 2006.

Research literature on Hispanic aging was reviewed with an emphasis on how the cultural identity systems of frail Mexican American elders are implicated in their construction of the meaning of receiving home based care. A qualitative, collective case study research design was utilized that integrated life-history and focused in-depth interviewing, as well as participant observation in order to identify how a theoretically sampled collection of frail Mexican American elders socially constructed the meaning of the care they received. A substantial variety of important interindividual differences were represented, which resulted in capturing extensive variance in how Mexican American cultural identity systems attribute meaning to the eldercare context. Interviews were conducted in Spanish and English and audiotaped. All audiotapes and fieldnotes were transcribed and imported into NVivo 2 for coding and analysis in their original language.

520 $a Research literature on Hispanic aging was reviewed with an emphasis on how the cultural identity systems of frail Mexican American elders are implicated in their construction of the meaning of receiving home based care. A qualitative, collective case study research design was utilized that integrated life-history and focused in-depth interviewing, as well as participant observation in order to identify how a theoretically sampled collection of frail Mexican American elders socially constructed the meaning of the care they received. A substantial variety of important interindividual differences were represented, which resulted in capturing extensive variance in how Mexican American cultural identity systems attribute meaning to the eldercare context.

520 $a Analysis of the subjective meaning of the concept of care revealed that the perceived degree of warmth and genuine concern for the well-being of the recipient comprised the most important element of care across all cases. The strong presence of the cultural theme of Hispanic familism indicated the need for social service establishments to broaden the scope of their primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions with Mexican American populations through greater inclusion of consumers' natural support networks. Culturally based gender role attitudes, values, and behavioral norms and religious belief systems appeared to constitute important ideological components of Hispanic familism. Analysis revealed the existence of a Hispanic cultural theme (marianismo ) suggesting that women are expected to provide the bulk of eldercare. The cultural gender construct of machismo exerted an important influence on how elderly Mexican American males adjusted to disabilities associated with old age. Deeply held religious belief systems with their associated values and attitudes significantly informed the construction of the meaning of receiving care across all cases. Cultural themes identified in participants' discourse demonstrated the importance for social service providers to socially interact with Mexican American elders in a friendly, personalized, and reciprocal manner, but with the special deference that advanced age merits in this culture.
