Daughters’ Caregiving Decisions: From an Impulse to a Balancing Point of Care
K. B. McGrew
1998

This study uses a qualitative approach to explore the decision process of 10 caregiving daughters. Each daughter constructed a sense of “enough”: an equation of her multiply-determined impulse to care and her personal threshold of support. These constructions help explain the variability of levels, lengths, and forms of parent care.
