摘要

The newly termed “emerging adult” family caregivers (ages 18–40) are the new sandwich generation, as they are increasingly providing care to their older family members with chronic, disabling, or other serious health conditions. However, little is known about young adult family caregivers, their attitude toward caregiving, their needs, their mental and health status, and their coping mechanism in the context of sustaining their caregiving role. An integrative review of young and emerging adult family caregivers was conducted to provide an understanding on the experience of family caregiving among young adults.
